Elements
N.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I think I lost my cool
Think I lost my groove
Yeah, I think I lost my moves
Without you
Yeah, I think I lost my cool
Yeah, I think I lost my groove
Yeah, I think I lost my cool
Without you
Swimming in the sauce
You were the anchor that I needed
And I see you hit my phone
But I aware this ship is sinking
And I’m thinking 'bout the days
With calmer seas & softer waves
I’m just sorry that the future never came
I think the problem really more or less lies with the fact
That we’re not the best match, just flammable
After all, if I’m not smoking then aggression pressing me
If I’m flaming, promise I’m not tryna be
I see the Vibes in the dirt
Heart shaking the earth
And it could be the beat
Cuz Lazy always putting in work
I feel like we been unappreciated
Rock with us first
She drag my name through the mud
But I guess it could be worse
I hear a lot of love talk
but that shit been for the birds
I’m tryna fly above my problems so our problems disperse
And I ain’t really superstitious, swear this shit is a curse
And I would call but I think that you probably gon' hit me first
Yeah, I think I lost my cool
Think I lost my groove
Yeah, I think I lost my moves
Without you
Yeah, I think I lost my cool
Yeah, I think I lost my groove




Yeah, I think I lost my cool
Without you
