Right
Mac Miller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, it's been a while without your face
But I saw your picture on the wall the other day
Too much distance, too much space
You need to come back home and run along, yeah
I'm waiting for the light to change
You ask me how I've been, but I'm good, I can't complain
Times get harder, things get strange
All I know, I don't want you gone

You know it hasn't been easy lately
You don't wanna leave me baby
And you know I hate to keep you waiting
But when it's right, then it's right

Yeah, days turn into nights, conversations turn into fights, we gon' be alright
Love turn into life, girl, you been burnin' so bright
Let me turn off the lights, stay awake 'til the morning, yeah
It ain't always great but it's never boring

Yeah, and I been itchin' for your love
Don't want to feel a single thing if it ain't your touch
I get drunk and become alone, just want to stumble into us
But baby, don't stop now 'cause it ain't over, yeah
Three years ago I was so dumb
Clueless, young, and stupid but look who I have become
I ain't gonna break your heart, promise it's always safe
Baby, don't go now, pull me closer

I know it hasn't been easy lately
You don't wanna leave me baby, whoa
You know I hate to keep you waiting
But I know when it's right, then it's right

Yeah, days turn into nights, conversations turn into fights, we gon' be alright
Love turn into life, girl, you been burnin' so bright
Let me turn off the lights, stay awake 'til the morning
It ain't always great but it's never boring

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
But when it's right, then it's right, alight

Ooh, mm-mm




Ooh, mm-mm
Ooh, mm-mm

To his parents, thank you for releasing his music. Mac was an extraordinary man that always kept us going when we felt like giving up. He still alive through the music he never left us. Thank you

@MadNastyTrappingDanEdwards

Absolutly everyones feelings... thank you

@Heksensang

Tyler Ng get the heck out of here with that unnecessary stuff man

@longsocks1996

Tyler Ng you need to chill out man and stop limiting yourself. Mac wasn’t just rapper he was an artist that tried different things, period. Today is not the day to be bringing others down, being disrespectful, and spreading negativity. If you don’t like it just say it wasn’t for you and keep it pushing.

@mfdoomnyc1471
