Places Lyrics by Elgie

2019

[Intro: elgie]
I don't know how to say this
Yea I don't know how to say this
[Verse 1: elgie]
But my brain is goin places
Yea all over the place since
I was a kid I always hated
Being played with
Being lied to
Now I'd like to
Clear the pages
Start it all from scratch
Forget the names that
Stabbed me in the back
All my fuck ups and regrets
Leave em in the past
All this time that we have spent
You'll remember that
And I know that this is hard
But I just wanna forget, I mean
You changed me, you see
And I love you, for that
But I can't be, with you
Cuz we both changed
We know things differently
And we both know we shouldn't be
Together cuz were limiting
Each other with this distance thing
But imagine what we each could be
Individually
Without any strings
We're stoppin each other from
Being our beings
And seeing the things
That we need to see
I just wanna be me
And it hurts to say
But I cannot be me
Anymore
[Bridge: elgie]
And I don't know how to say this
Reminiscin about chillin in the basement
You and me we were adjacent
And I don’t know how to say this
But my brain is goin places
Goin places
Goin places
[Verse 2: elgie]
Yea my brain is goin places
That id never thought it go
Momma saw me on the honor roll
Momma sorry wasn't on it though
Momma sorry about smokin dope
It's a bad habit
But I'm not an addict
I got dreams and passions
That I won't abandon
Cuz I'm not gonna let myself
Be my dad and
Sorry I'm a disappointment
For just enjoyin
My time at college
Northern Illinois
I always wanted
My own apartment
And now I got it
And its always crowded
With my people all up in it
And I'm always happy
Till I'm left alone
And I start the thinking
About where im goin
Who will be there?
When im grown
When I got a job
Is it what I love
Or am I in a box
Workin 9-5
No that will not slide
Cuz I'm doin what I love
Till I die
With the people that I love
Always by my side
Look me in my eyes
I ain't tellin no more lies
But I gotta move on
Girl I love our past life
And I love the memories
And I'll cherish what we had
Baby if we're meant to be
Then I'll see you in the end
Yea I'll see you in the end
But for now I gotta let
My heart rest
[Outro: elgie]
Cuz I've been through a lot
With my emotions in knots
And my brain and it's plots
I been zonin a lot
All my friends been goin home a lot
I been alone a lot
With my thoughts
But I don't know how to say this
