Lifetime
G.O.D. Finesse' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been reminiscing of the good years
Oh even though you're not here
I know that you're watching over with a slight tear
Yeah I know that you're not here
And I'm so done with all this bullshit
Cause all the good ones seem to die young
And I realise that god wants all the good ones
But luckily I have great memories of you
Yeah when I look up to the stars
I see you looking down with your beautiful heart
Oh it feels like a lifetime ago
Last time i saw you
Oh I've been working on how to cope
Drowning out this lost hope
Oh I just don't know where to go
I don't wanna let go
Cause it's destroying my soul
Oh if I could turn back time
I would have you back in a blink of an eye
Just to see you one last time
I wanna wake up from this big lie
I wish you had of seen us kids grow up
Cause I know that's what we both want
You were meant to grow old with us
Instead of sitting here mourning your loss
Yeah in the past year
Oh I've been reminiscing of the good years
Yeah even though you're not here
I know that you're watching over with a slight tear
Yeah I know that you're not here
And I'm so done with all this bullshit
Cause all the good ones seem to die young
And I realise that god wants all the good ones

Yeah
Turn everything up
Yeah, oh, yeah
Turn everything up a little more
I want my baby to have your eyes
I'm going against my own advice
Should I do New York? I can't decide
Fashion Week is more your thing than mine
I can't even lie, I'd rather stay inside
I can't do suit and tie
Can't be in a room with you and stand on different sides
One thing at a time, I have to learn to hide
One thing at a time, Emotions running high
I wish you felt alright
Just hitting my line
All the time, all the time, all the–
You stay on my mind
All the time, all the time (yeah)
It takes some finesse
I seen you finesse
He can't know finesse
You stay on my mind
You and your sister, too hot to handle
Things would get cancelled, I would make time for you
Commitment, goin' the distance
I'm new to all of this
It takes some finesse
I seen you finesse
He can't know finesse
You stay on my mind
