The Prophet Lyrics by Burrian

2023

[Intro]
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, uh

[Verse 1]
One day walkin' home I saw on old lady walkin' there, she looked nice enough, so I said "Hi" and kept on walkin' there
She stopped in her tracks as if there were a ghost walkin' there
Startled as if she hadn't seen and looked at me just as I was walkin' there
Locked in and stared straight in my eyes, her eyes were the color of a lake and the gradient behind it, oh well
Interested in what she thought I'd say, she said to me "What's your name, young man?"
I answered and said "Bryan, young ma'am"
Taken aback, she asked how my day was
I answered her with a short summary of what had happened today, she seemed satisfied
After all, I was approaching my house quickly and steadily
Information on where I was going was confidential to me and I only
I asked her how her day was, and answered with a special poem she'd written at her book club
It was beautiful, I'll admit it
We parted ways and I thought I'd never see her again, little did I know that one of many

[Chorus]
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, one prophet
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, one prophet

[Verse 2]
Same time, next day, saw her walkin' alone again
Greeted her once again, we had a little talk on the way along
Asked me if I had any memories of life as a young, tiny, baby
I said no, and she wanted to see my hands
I put them in front of her, not expecting anything bad
Intuitive told me to not do it, yet I did
Conscious going crazy, hoping nothing would happen to me
She was looking at them for a long time, uncomfortable time
I was on a slower pace than usual and decided to leave, she didn't say a word after
Thought it was the last, but I was wrong, restart button

[Chorus]
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, one prophet
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, be like this, be like this
Somebody should've told me it would be like this, one prophet
