lyrics

High tide is rising
Life is a movie, hope yours is exciting
Even though the outcome of this film was tragic
At least we made a classic
Dealt a hand, rare as a pair of aces
Testament to finding love in strange places
Been almost a decade, a few hundred setlists
I’m back to square one like I’m searching on Craigslist?
I know you prolly don't miss me
Loved me unconditional, I miss the way you kissed me
Listened to me cry when the music bizness used to diss me
Asked for so little and it was "Not now, I'm busy"
Wish I could travel, back in a DeLorean
Tryna find solace, meditating like Gregorians
Future me is the only dude I'd prolly listen to
If he'd articulate the empty feeling I have missing you
I wish you could have met my nephew, Rand Alexander
Kids' smart as hell, I even changed a few pampers
You'da laughed at me fumbling, bout to throw up
Peter Pan Syndrome, I don't want to grow up
I never took lessons to engineer on Logic
And I don't learn lessons from good sense and logic
I only learn a lesson by falling down a staircase
Only see the bigger picture looking down from an airplane
I used to have a princess
I used to have a wifey but now there's just a distance
Cuz I don't operate at a pace you can measure
You dealt with my bullshit with grace under pressure
Held me down when your fridge held my only cheddar
No excuses, I was old enough to know better
It seemed to always rain each time we were together
...Never once complained about the weather
You would cook me talapia
With couscous and veggies, I’d lick on your labia
After dinner, dead broke, felt like a winner
Pretty in the summer, you were stunning in the winter
The Ginger Rogers to Jake's Fred Astaire
Ginger Loves Rocco, the Steamboat to my Flair
Not an expert on wrestling, but you'd still get the reference
Stimulate my brain and my sexual preference
Perpetual breakups & reconciliations
If I could take it back, I’d make you dinner reservations
Try to be the man you need, no more reservations
Said I love you in the kitchen, you looked at me strangely
All them jokes on Twitter bout having 9 wives
Thought I had a second chance, but I'd exhausted 9 lives
Played it off for a while with movie nights and great sex
I just wish you’d had the decency to send a "Dear Jake" text
I know I dropped the ball, I should have sent my letter sooner
Fuck that, I should have said it to your face
You left my bed 3 weeks ago with tears down your face
Find out with the world you got a man on Face...book
That was dead ass wrong, and you know it
Bullet through my ventricle trying not to show it
Recycling our dates I never took a girl to...
...was our spot, my heart’s pounding thru me, yo
Try to move on, but save your pics on occasion
But if you could see the films that play in my imagination
Every time you get tagged by your dude in a pic
That's what happens having 17 mutual friends
Thanks to Instagram's algorithms
An automated robot tells me how you're living
I gotta stop the madness, but I can't look away
It’s what I get for every time my only lover felt betrayed
Certain shit wasn't worth it
The best part of all is realizing you deserve it
Since then I tried hard to be a better person
My grandma asked about you as her condition worsens
Memories clear as day, my life lost the light in it
Of course I got options, but I’m really not excited, shit
Trust me I debated even writing this
Hesitant to pick at old wounds while I'm typing this
But speaking out my troubles in public is how I cope
A genius still fucks up, give a man enough rope
Doubt I'll get ever get chance to make it right, we’ll see
But if I ever do, Atlantic City’s on me
High tide is rising
Life is a movie, hope yours is exciting
Even though the outcome of this film was tragic
At least we made a classic
