Only one that stay taking my time
Only one who stay all on my mind
Yeah im running right next to you baby, yeah
And I hardly ever mind
Stay taking my time
Only one who stay all on my mind
Yeah im running right next to you baby, yeah
And I hardly ever mind

Only one that stay taking my time

Yeah im running right next to you baby, yeah

Yeah, not sure what to do, but
Call it a jog, call it a race, yeah
Calling me names what am I fake, never that
I must say though baby, I really missed you today
And that apartment looking lonely with no furniture baby
Quite bare, I'll spare you the sob story, odd cutting ties in a selfish pursuit of glory
Isolated car rides, you know everyone of my lines
More I, stare through them eyes harder it is to be fine
And I'm guilty of falling back, miss talking my shit
But ain't no pitstop failing in my race for your bliss
I'm on my way just wait, no interfering with fate
You see this marathon forever so we'll work on the pace because ya
Stay taking my time
Only one who stay all on my mind

Yeah im running right next to you baby, yeah
And I hardly ever mind
