Early Lyrics by Joy Crookes

2019

[Verse 1: Jafaris]
I think it’s safe to say
I don’t see any other way, baby
I put a lot in a safe
That you unlocked for me back when
I was young, dumb, affectless
Lost, broke, rejected
Cool, calm, collected
That’s when everything connected

[Pre-Chorus: Joy Crookes]
Look on both sides 'fore you cross my heart
Used to play a part, then you walked my way
Leave your luggage at the door
Got no ceiling, throw the stone
Dustin' off, left me unfold
When you walked my way

[Chorus 1: Jafaris & Joy Crookes]
Crooksie told me not to fall in love too early
Percy never listened and he loved too early
I’m too early
Was too early
Why too early

[Post-Chorus: Both, Jafaris]
I can't believe it
I give it all to let it go
I can't believe it
Don't offer more when someone goes
I'm crossing borders of this friendship
You're turning water into wine
I can't believe it (I can't believe it)
I can't believe it (I can't believe it)

[Verse 2: Jafaris, Both]
Two feet on land, footprints on sand
That's what you did with your hands on me
Made your mark, played your part
Wish you'd never crossed my path, baby (Huh)
All of this moved too fast for me
The slow shit never came naturally
Actually I know I'll find a real one
'Cause you come blast for me

[Pre-Chorus: Joy Crookes]
My ride or die
And I cross my heart
This is where we start
When you walk my way
Left the baggage on the floor
You want us and we want more
Don't you know I open doors
When you walk my way?

[Chorus 2: Both]
Crooksie told me not to fall in love too early
Percy never listened and he loved too early
From the cradle to the grave
The memories made early
Not too early

[Post-Chorus: Both, Jafaris]
I can't believe it
I give it all to let it go
I can't believe it
Don't offer more when someone goes
I'm crossing borders of this friendship
You're turning water into wine
I can't believe it (I can't believe it)
I can't believe it (I can't believe it)

[Bridge: Joy Crookes]
I never meant for this to go far
But who would I become if you were proud?

[Post-Chorus: Joy Crookes, Jafaris, Both]
I'm crossing borders of this friendship
You're turning water into wine
I can't believe it (I can't believe it)
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
(Can't believe it)
I can't believe it
(I can't believe it)
I can't believe it
(I can't believe it)
I can't believe it
