Resurface

VERSE ONE:
I am...
Never more, never less
Same as the last me, ever obsessed
Of course with the big bucks,
But I'm stretched thin like a nip tuck, plus
Trust is a bitch too
Got a gift to identify irrelevant issues
And point 'em out like a fallin' star
Consider it a callin' card
I try to do better, but...
It isn't easy all the time,
But what does that even mean?
Deal with the pressure like- same way I feel with depression like
Head down and go
Make waves like a passin' boat
Call me on the bullshit, man, if I should know
If you don't wanna talk, we could pass a note
It isn't easy all the time,
But what does that even mean?
Deal with the pressure like- same way I feel with depression like
Been down that road
Five toes on the gas & go
Probly won't tell, you could ask me, tho
HOOK
And when I try to resurface
Tell myself--give a little bit, give a little bit
And when I try to resurface
Tell myself-give a little bit more
VERSE TWO:
Severed ties I'm better for, cold heart metaphor
'Course that's what I wear a sweater for
Late night, note-pad and a pen
Eyes up at the stars, inhale medicine
Parachute out the back of the funny car
Brain bound to flounder when you run it hard
We've come all this way
Just to reminisce about the old days
Swear I'll do better, but...
It isn't easy all the time,
But what does that even mean?
Gratitude incline, attitude in line
Seen better days, but I'm doin' alright
Me & Mayhem are two of a kind
And got you--what a beautiful find
It isn't easy all the time,
But what does that even mean?
Gratitude incline, attitude in line
Seen better days, but I'm doin' okay
Long as ill will's kept at bay,
Swim hard, or be swept away
HOOK:
And when I try to resurface
Tell myself - give a little bit, give a little bit
And when I try to resurface
Tell myself - give a little bit more

Just Vibe

VERSE ONE:
Normally the sea we sail is blue
I muddied it up, this time
But I'ma come through for you
Said some words I didn't mean,
You landed jabs, in between
That ain't right, girl
Cuz we're not the fightin' type, so...
HOOK:
Lay down on me
Put your head against my chest
And melt away your stress
Lay down on me
Put your head against my chest
We gon' do what we do best, Girl
... and just vibe
We don't have to go nowhere
(just vibe)
VERSE TWO:
Like butterflies in the breeze,
We lack for direction
It's who we are and where we want to be
Circumstances catch the blame
But they can't dead the flame
We're forged in steel
Everybody knows the deal
HOOK:
Lay down on me
Put your head against my chest
And melt away your stress
Lay down on me
Put your head against my chest
We gon' do what we do best, Girl
... and just vibe
We don't have to go nowhere
(just vibe)
BRIDGE:
It ain't difficult to vibe with you
OUTRO:
Lay down on me
Put your head against my chest
Lay down on me
Melt away your stress
Lay down on me
We gon' do what we do best
Lay down on me
