(Chorus)

Give me a shortcut, show me a way


I just need a side street to your heart, a faster lane


So I can get closer to the start

Just a little closer to your heart


I want to get closer to the start


Just a little closer..




(Verse 1)


I never felt this way before

my stomach sinks down to the floor


I try to play it cool, like I ain't a tool


they say men are dogs, that explains the drool

turning heads with those legs and face of yours


I've never seen such a beautiful face before


caramel complected, chiropractic

you got 'em breaking neck with all your $$#ets


me? I'm playing low key like baselines


I'm in the back like Tito, Mr. incognito,

you asked mi amigos, why your friend so emo


it was at that moment, it got real.


And next thing I'm texting BRB

A minute later we LOL 'bout an OMG


you even think the same things too


I recognize these butterflies .. Déjà vu




(Chorus)




(Verse 2)


It was awkward, at that Nas concert


guys crowded round you, like hounds do

so you threw your arms around my collar


the freshest necklace, I felt like a baller


and I reciprocated, inundated with this feeling so right

such a beautiful night...I'll never forget the conversations we had


the one time I didn't mind, staying out of my lab


'cause we, harmonized with the music we made

you talked about your past and how you're afraid


the hurts that he caused and how you escaped

I confessed my mess you expressed how you relate


should I, give you space to explore options

or play the love game and let you come stalking

I'm just joshing, kinda sort of


your allure's over my head, you're my fedora




(Bridge)

There's no other place that I'd rather be

with you by my side yes we'll drive to the sea


I'll sing you Sinatra let's love and be free

no reservations and no minor key

I'll give you my heart if you give me yours


No need to hide it for you I adore

If you see me shine it's your love I glow

So give me a shortcut which nobody knows




(Chorus)
