Persistence Lyrics by Milkydre

2020

[Intro]
(Milky, is this gonna be another song about her?)
Yes
(What? Can't you write a song about like... anything else?)
No, to be honest, I mean, I don’t know how
(*Sigh* Fine... it better be good)

[Verse 1]
Tell me how we went from point A to point B and now we're back to A
As a matter of fact, we're passed that, but the other way
What comes before A? Zero?
Wait hold up nah that’s numbers right?
Anyway, um
Damn I forgot what I was trying to say
Oh yeah! I hate you, wait no, I love you
But I hate the way you make me feel
Like I'm not enough, so then I do too much, and then I end up slippin', banana peel
Did I really just use banana peel as a lyric?
Yes I did!
See I'm going crazy, insane in the membrane, over a girl?
God forbid!
But unfortunately that's what happened, and that's why I'm writing this song
I had my chance to make a move, but my dumbass took too long
I let my insecurities take over me (Well good job milky)
And now I have to live with the fact that we will probably never be, so

[Chorus]
I'll be watchin’ from a distance, cause
Up close there’s some resistance, I a-
Pologize for my persistence, but
I'm just so obsessed with your existence, so
I’ll be watchin' from a distance, yeah
I'll be watchin' from a distance, I a-
Pologize for my persistence, but
I’m just so obsessed with your existence

[Verse 2]
Let me just say that I do not have any expectations (nope)
That's unfair for me to put that onto you, so don't worry I have limitations
And that's exactly why I'll keep my distance, till I get that invitation
But if it never comes, that's fine too, this ain't solicitation (HUH?)
But tell me why I'm still holding on, I guess I'm just too patient
I mean you don't mind when I flirt with you so, what's the implication?
And when I flirt with you, I just wanna know, what's your interpretation?
Is there reciprocation?
Or am I just an irritation?
Why do I feel intimidation?
Do you see my perspiration?
Do you feel my palpitations?
Do you hear my aspirations?
(Gasp)
Holding back temptations, I'ma need resuscitation
On you I have a fixation
Damn I blame the simulation!

[Chorus]
I'll be watchin' from a distance, cause
Up close there's some resistance, I a-
Pologize for my persistence, but
I'm just so obsessed with your existence, so
I'll be watchin' from a distance, yeah
I'll be watchin' from a distance, I a-
Pologize for my persistence, but
I'm just so obsessed with your existence
