Lyrics

ITS BEEN A WHILE

[Chorus]

I know its been a while since I tried to see you

There's no way I could hide, so I had to come near you

It's truly a surprise, didn't think I would see you

I know its been a while, know its been a while

And I know its been a while, you met a girl and I met mine, but I see you

You're still in and out my mind (Ah, ah)

[Verse 1]

I got tired of waiting, had to come closer

Now that I'm with you, can I finally get closure?

Got my temperature risin', my silence is cuttin' through, through

Some feelings are violet, some feelings are blue

It's harder to tell when it comes to me and you, me and you

[Chorus]

I know its been a while since I tried to see you

There's no way I could hide, so I had to come near you

It's truly a surprise, didn't think I would see you

I know its been a while, know its been a while

And I know its been a while, you met a girl and I met mine, but I see you

You still in and out my mind (Ah, ah)

[Post-Chorus]

I know its been a while, I know its been a while

I know its been a while (I know, I know), I know its been a while

I know it's been a while

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Yeah

[Outro]

I know its been a while, baby

It's been three whole years, am I still on your mind?

Since you're here, I'll tell you

Thought things over since October when we spoke, and said it's finally over

Circles in my mind, thought it'd leave with time

I said shit, I was mean

Sincerely, I'm sorry

Triggered by the silence, I know

Baby, I know its been a while, happy to see you, its been a while

Baby, I know its been a while, baby, I know its been a while

Been a while, while
