"Together Sad" lyrics
Accolade obsession, the ends became the means
How can we be present? We don't make for make-believe
We make to make a dream, we make to make it seem
I wanna make for love, want us to make a team
'Cause I could write a song with my eyes closed
But once I know the notes, I hide behind those, yeah
You ever wonder where the time goes?
I ain't tryna wonder where my prime go
Just a couple weeks ago, our lovin' felt aligned, though
But now I'm chiselin' off the marble of our quarrels
Stressed, tryna make a statue of what I know
Intuition blindfolded, vision's blind focus, scripts that I've broken
How you know when a good thing's over?
I used to love New York, but the cash took culture
We used to love for sport, now our pasts took hold us
Made us want different futures, now the path's all broken
I'm waitin' on you to grow
You waitin' on me to change
It's all up in the air
But I can't breathe in shame
Let us be sad together, baby
Let us detach the pressure, baby
Look at how bad the weather lately
Let us be sad together, baby
Let us relax the effort maybe
Lovin' you past the pleasure, baby
I'm scared to build a home with you
Every home I've known held me back from walkin' on my own
And I'm scared if we keep goin', one day, I'ma feel alone with you
Got this preemptive claustrophobia
So maybe I don't gotta change, just grow more
Maybe the closer I get to the pain, I'll know more
Always baffled me how you so sure
But maybe I just got it backwards and you grown more
I trigger you, you trigger me, we snapping
Hard not to be sad when we trigger-happy
City collapsing, I barely know it
You the only neighborhood I grow in
So I would be sad with you just to be with you, shit
We worked roads of our trauma, bonded, used it as a vehicle
Shit ain't cheap, fickle, we met by chance
But gon' leave by fate, if I'm the best I can be, I will
I'm waitin' on you to grow
You waitin' on me to change
It's all up in the air
But I can't breathe in shame
Let us be sad together, baby
Let us detach the pressure, baby
Look at how bad the weather lately
Let us be sad together, baby
Let us relax the effort maybe
Lovin' you past the pleasure, baby
I'm waitin' on you to grow
You waitin' on me to change
It's all up in the air
But I can't breathe in shame
How can we be present? We don't make for make-believe
We make to make a dream, we make to make it seem
I wanna make for love, want us to make a team
'Cause I could write a song with my eyes closed
But once I know the notes, I hide behind those, yeah
You ever wonder where the time goes?
I ain't tryna wonder where my prime go
Just a couple weeks ago, our lovin' felt aligned, though
But now I'm chiselin' off the marble of our quarrels

Made us want different futures, now the path's all broken
