Slingshot Lyrics by Jinja Safari

Crescent Sun

2016

Hey, I haven't seen the best of you, oh
Oh, but I was never really looking to, oh, oh
Hey, the line’s blurring at the edge
Oh, oh, I know your content's on the ledge
'Til your center of gravity starts spinnin’ off on its own
Off on its own, off on its own, off on its own
[Chorus]
I needed you, I needed you
I need the cameras to clear the view
I needed you, I needed you
I want the glass eyes but with a view
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
Oh, I need someone for weeks
Oh, the color's draining out my cheeks, oh
Do you have a history we should know?
Oh, do, do you have the Hail Mary to throw?
[Chorus]
I needed you, I needed you
I need the cameras to clear the view
I needed you, I needed you
I want the glass eyes but with a view
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
Oh, you make it look effortless
Like silk, silk in the night
Pressed against another chest
When the slingshot broke
I was up against the rope
But I went too far
All I wanted
Was to be where you are
All I wanted
Was to be where you are
(Was to be where you are)
[Outro]
The slingshot broke
I was up against the ropes
I went too far
All I wanted, all I wanted
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
I needed you, I needed you
I needed you
