Brakes Lyrics by The Shadowboxers

Apollo

2018

[Verse]
She got me outdated, ahead of her time
I can't take a break with you
It feels like we're racing, but I run and you drive
I can't use the brakes with you
I'm in over my head now
Have I lost my mind?
Trying to play like I'm a better man (Better man)
It's not what I want to do, baby
It's what I might
Trying to show you I'm a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
Futuristic lipstick
Better rocking with the beat
Let 'em get a taste
And take 'em out, and let her see
(Get up)
[Chorus]
I can't hang with you
No, you can't pay me to
Every time I need a day or two, I barely move
I ain't safe with you (Safe with you)
Swear you off like a good drug
Take you back like a good drug
And I crawl to you, only you
'Cause
[Verse]
She got me outdated, ahead of her time
I can't take a break with you
It feels like we're racing, but I run and you drive
I can't use the brakes with you
I'm in over my head now
Have I lost my mind?
Trying to play like I'm a better man (Better man)
It's not what I want to do, baby
It's what I might
Trying to show you I'm a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
Futuristic lipstick
Better rocking with the beat
Let 'em get a taste
And take 'em out, and let her see
(Keep up)
[Chorus]
I can't hang with you
No, you can't pay me to
Every time I need a day or two, I barely move
I ain't safe with you (Safe with you)
Swear you off like a good drug
Take you back like a good drug
And I crawl to you, only you
'Cause
[Bridge]
She got me outdated, ahead of her time
Yeah, I'm losing my mind (To make her mine)
The more that I'm chasing, I'm falling behind
So I'mma be taking my time, 'cause I know she's mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse]
She got me outdated, ahead of her time
I can't take a break with you
It feels like we're racing, but I run and you drive
I can't use the brakes with you
She got me outdated, ahead of her time
I can't take a break with you
It feels like we're racing, but I run and you drive
I can't use the brakes with you
