"Temporary Pleasures" lyrics
DUCKWRTH & Lakeith Stanfield Lyrics
I, I know I said I'm sorry like a million times
But, I miss you and
I don't know if you have it in you to forgive me
Why would I forgive you?
You haven't called me, you haven't seen me
You're not with the pull ups when you say you are
That's true, but I've been really changing, I swear
I've been going to therapy, shit, just...
I really hope you find your purpose though, like for real
'Cause you, you, you need help, I can't do it for you
So, it is what it is
Give me all of your smiles
And all of your good times
And never waste time, huh
Give me all of your purpose
I'll give you mine, mine
And never waste time
If we living this life for trouble and lies
Then why?
And what's the purpose?
If memories fade and thoughts go away
Then make me some space
For all the good times
For all the good times
It's never forever
It's temporary pleasures
It's never forever
It's temporary pleasures
It's never forever
It's temporary pleasures
It's never, forever
It's temporary pleasures
I do know that one day, I...
Everybody needs to be human
Everybody has to feel human
And one thing that came from this and this life
Is that we've never been perfect, we'll never be perfect
But one thing we will always be, is ourselves
The truest selves, the best selves, the worst selves
But every time it comes back up, it comes back down
Just like a sound wave, just like a wave
Just like everything that we always wanted to be
And to clarify, I was terrified
For day and night, you kept on hoping
But like a Gemini, I saw the other side
And I was mesmerized, my eyes wide open
I had to fuck around and find out, out
What loving you is really all about, 'bout
I had to fuck around and find out, out
What loving you is really all about, 'bout
I had to fuck around and find out, out
What loving you is really all about, 'bout
I had to fuck around and find out
Mmm...
Yep
I know you're feeling like this is a sad story
Not your typical guy gets girl, huh?
Honesty, it was doomed from the beginning
But, there is an upside
Our main character figures out why he couldn't truly love her
It's 'cause he didn't love himself
But he learns what love actually looks like
So, is this the end of this story?
Or the beginning of new one?
I'll let you decide
Fin
But, I miss you and
I don't know if you have it in you to forgive me
Why would I forgive you?
You haven't called me, you haven't seen me
You're not with the pull ups when you say you are
That's true, but I've been really changing, I swear
I've been going to therapy, shit, just...
I really hope you find your purpose though, like for real
'Cause you, you, you need help, I can't do it for you
So, it is what it is
Give me all of your smiles
And all of your good times
And never waste time, huh
Give me all of your purpose
I'll give you mine, mine
And never waste time
If we living this life for trouble and lies
Then why?
And what's the purpose?
If memories fade and thoughts go away
Then make me some space
For all the good times
For all the good times
It's never forever
It's temporary pleasures
It's never forever
It's temporary pleasures
It's never forever
It's temporary pleasures
It's never, forever
It's temporary pleasures
I do know that one day, I...
Everybody needs to be human
