Here we go
I just wanna float higher

Not again
I just wanna fly higher
Oh

Oh

Never been so high
In a dream
I can fly look at me
So
Watchu thinking bout
Look up in stars
Late at night
Look for me look for me
I'm at ease im at ease now
Baby look at me
How the hell did i get here
Cant you just tell me
Felt like i was just a home
Now i'm up here all alone
I was sitting on my phone
Something set me on the thrown
I feel like i'm in control
I feel like i'm on a role
I think i deserve to know
How i feel so comfortable
How i feel so comfortable
Baby girl
I don't know
I've been searching for the answers
No one really seems to know
I ain't no smooth talker
Choppy just like the water
I need to work harder
I need to get it sharper
I think way too much
I need to get shit done
Baby i can't help it
Where the hells the sun
Ima come back down
It's been way too long
Ima work this out
By the end of the song
Never mind i decided
That i wont worry bout it
Ima just let it happen
Ima just let it happen
Oh
Here we go
I just wanna float higher
No
Not again
I just wanna fly higher
Oh
Back at it again
I didn't make plans
Thank god i didn't make plans
Still don't know what's goin on
Still don't know what's happening
I been out tha loop
That's how i lost all my friends
That's how ima buy a benzo
Please don't take this personal
I'm just tryna rhyme
You can see i gotta keep the flow
Take it how you wanna tho
Ima come right back for more
Go ahead and hold the door
Lock that shit behind ya tho
I won't change for notin baby
This is who i am go hate me
I'm kinda picky wit ladies
Too many beautiful faces
Id say i'm due for some maintenance
Can you do me a favor
Feel like i'm playing with satan
Way out the park like the majors
Baby i feel like i majored
I'm with the pros now
My mission ain't finished but
I'm coming home now
Way down in so cal
No more waitin it out
Totally focused on sounds
Ain't no more messin around baby girl
Oh
Here we go
I just wanna float higher
No
Not again
I just wanna fly higher
