BABE coming in from left field just for fun.

rock n roll

lyrics

I’m hung up on the fact
That if I'd known this 6 years back
I would’ve just absolutely lost it

Saw your sister this morning
And she doesn’t know my name, or that
I spent last night with you in your apartment

Well, me at 23
Isn't who I thought she’d be
Proving, old habits die hard man

You’re coming on strong
I'm not saying that it’s wrong
Just banking on you reading my thoughts yeah

Is this what they mean by long game, babe?

I’m killing house plants on purpose
Just to watch them die
It’s been a while, since I’ve felt nervous
A while, a while before tonight

I’m feeling a stirring
I’m coming up new
You couldn’t ground me if you tried
And me at 23 isn't who I thought she'd be
Im out on top
I feel alright

Is this what you meant by the long game babe?
