Despite the extended love imagery, this song is NOT about a girl.

Mac tells us the truth in his Billboard Track by Track interview that this song uses the imagery of a female to personify all his addictions,… Read More [Intro]

Can you turn the beat up?

A little louder

There you go

[Verse 1]

People love you when they on your mind

A thought is love's currency

And I been thinkin' 'bout her all the time

I never seen somebody put together perfectly

What would I have to do to call you mine?

Someone like you is so hard to find

You can open up your eyes, or you can walk in blind

All I ask is that you hurry, I won't hurt you, don't you worry

Listen to me, I'ma set you free

He ain't gonna break your heart again

Go through the worst to reach the ecstasy

When your imagination's on pretend

I never thought that it would feel this way

You never taught me how to heal the pain

I wish you caught me on a different day

When it was easier to be happy

[Chorus]

Just a little taste and you know she got you

Can you hide away? Can you hide away?

Sound of silence as they all just watch you

I kinda find it strange how the times have changed

I wish we could go and be

Free once, baby, you and me

We could change the world forever

And never come back again

Let's leave it all in the rear-view

Let's leave it all in the rear-view, girl

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry

[Verse 2]

Mend a broken heart, girl, if you can

I don't expect you to be capable

You got the world right in your hands

That responsibility is unescapable

I promise that I'll be a different man

Please give me the chance to go and live again

I'm havin' some trouble, can you give a hand?

It seems perfection really is so unattainable

Don't even say you 'bout to end it all

Your life precious, ain't no need to go and kill yourself

I'm not so sure that there's an end at all

I wish the truth would just reveal itself

Who do you call to make it to the top?

And who do you call to make the shootin' stop?

And who do you call to give the coupe a wash?

After everything I did, I think I'm still myself

[Chorus]

Just a little taste and you know she got you

Can you hide away? Can you hide away?

Sound of silence as they all just watch you

I kinda find it strange how the times have changed

I wish we could go and be

Free once, baby, you and me

We could change the world forever

And never come back again

Let's leave it all in the rear-view

Let's leave it all in the rear-view, girl

You don't have to cry

You don't have to cry
