Daniel Caesar - Never Enough Lyrics






Ocho Rios

In the nick of time, that's when you appeared
Girl, I was lost 'til you found me here
My hair was long, but my head was low
And now I'm here, 'cause you made it so

Girl, I don't deserve you
You're the one I turn to
Never meant to hurt you
You're my saving grace
Grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace
You're my saving grace
Grace, grace, grace

In Montego Bay in a storm of snow (in a storm of snow)
I was trying not to let you go (let you go)
Percocet with the legs of crow (legs of crow)
And if you're tired, won't you let me go (won't you let me go)
As love expires, we go back and forth (back and forth)

Girl, I don't deserve you
You're the one I turn to
Never meant to hurt you
You're my saving grace
Grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace
You're my saving grace
Grace, grace, grace

Ta-da, da-da, da-da, ta-da
Ta-da, da-da, da-da, ta-da
Ta-da, da-da, da-da, ta-da
Ta-da, da-da, da-da, ta-da

Valentina

Valentina, baby
I only need one moment of time
To make you feel a way
From the first time I looked in your eyes
I knew that I would find
A way
To make
You mine

I know it's late, and I know you got a man
Please understand, baby, he won't (baby, he won't)
Love you like I do (like I do)
Give me a break, I know that you want me too
Your loyal is cool, I understand
And I respect it

Valentina, baby
I only need one moment of time (moment of time)
To make you feel
A way
From the first time I looked in your eyes
I knew that I would find
A way
To make
You mine

Toronto 2014

Sometimes it feels like it's a dream
Everything is not as it seems
If only I could find a pair of glasses
To help me see the ones that who truly be
They live, and we sleep
Pray my days will never hit one
Take me far away from the sun
If only I could find my way through space-time
Back to when I was happy being me
They live and we-

I can hear the bells ringing, reminding us why
We're still here singing, it's Father Time
Stuck in the matrix
Living a lie
I'm not afraid to die

Take me back to 2014
Saw a pic this morning
Far along the journey
The future was alluring
On the other side of TVs
Hoping that they see me
But they already see me
At least, that's how I see things
Isn't it funny how the time flies?
Like a G5 jet in the turbulence
But we gon' make it home tonight, alright, alright
Alright, alright
My misery is boring
Finally feel confident
Yes, that's an accomplishment
Many more commas to get

I can hear the bells ringing, reminding us why
We're still here singing, it's Father Time
Were stuck in the matrix
Living a lie
I'm not afraid to die

You know it's Stockholm, long road, London, you can't even reach me
Just know whenever you need me, we'll figure it out
Look up, and you'll see me, and I'll be around
'Cause when I'm home, I'm lost, let's go
Make it look easy
Oh, take it easy on me
It's still my city, it's still my city

Let Me Go

I'm tryna breathe, why won't you let me?
I'm tryna leave, please just forget me
Hand on the sleeve, our sun is setting
And hardly believe this got so messy

Ain't gon' sleep tonight
My dreams exhaust me
I'll be awake 'til the light
It's 'bout that time that I break away before our time expires

Baby, won't you let me go? Oh, oh
(Let go, let go, let go)
Baby, won't you let me go? Oh, oh
(Let go, let go, let go)

I'm not afraid of manipulation
You're stuck in your ways
I run out of patience
You're lying when you tell me that you won't be fine
I'm not leadin' you on I'm leavin' you behind

Ain't no sleep tonight
My dreams exhaust me
I'll be awake 'til the light
It's 'bout that time that I break away before time expires

Baby, won't you let me go? Oh, oh
(Let go, let go, let go)
Baby, won't you let me go? Oh, oh
(Let go, let go, let go)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Let go, let go, let go)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Let go, let go, let go)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Let go, let go, let go)
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Do You Like Me?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Do you like the way I talk to you?
Do I titillate your mind?
Gotta say I like your attitude
And I'd love to make you mine
But I gotta know
Do you really like me? Do you really like me?
Low on time, I'd like to make a move (yeah)
Do you really like me? Do you really like me?
Yeah, we're still young, but for how many moons?

I guess we'll find out
Guess we'll wait and see
Know I like you, babe
I hope you like me

Worst case scenario ('nario), I get played
But hey, this ain't my first rodeo (rodeo)
I hate that I'm so jaded
Yeah, it's cool, but overrated
I wanna be in love again, oh-oh
At first I was f*cking your friend (your friend)
But I wanted you
Are we wrong? I guess that depends (that depends)
Will we end up together?
Will you have my kids? You better
I wanna be in love again (ooh)

I guess we'll find out
Guess we'll wait and see
Know I like you, babe
I hope you like me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Always

Baby, baby
There will always be space for you and me
Right where you left it
And just maybe
Enough time will pass
We'll look back and laugh
Just don't forget it

And maybe I'm wrong
For writing this song
Losing my head over you

And I'll be here
'Cause we both know how it goes
I don't want things to change
I pray they stay the same, always
And I don't care
If you're with somebody else
I'll give you time and space
Just know I'm not a phase
I'm always, ways, ways
Always, ways, ways
I'm always, ways, ways

Pretty lady, used to walk with me
Down Bloor street, oh, what a time
And I still remember the fussin', the fightin, the f*ckin', the lyin'
So fine, you'll always be mine

And maybe I'm wrong (hey babe, you could)
For writing this song (write me a song)
Losing my head over you

And I'll be here
'Cause we both know how it goes
I don't want things to change
I pray they stay the same, always
And I don't care
If you're with somebody else
I'll give you time and space
Just know I'm not a phase
I'm always, ways, ways
Always, ways, ways
I'm always, ways, ways

Always, count on it, sure as the stars in the sky
Always, you can count on it, sure as the sun will rise
Always, my love for you ain't goin' nowhere
Always, I will be here

Cool

Try your best to keep composure
Don't give up all of your smiles
Push away and then come closer
Ain't been touched in a while

Sometimes
I get too excited, stars behind my eyelids
Sometimes
I'm nodding in agreement, I don't agree they see it

Play it cool
Do out favorite just for you
Cool
Being cold and just for you

Try your best to calm me down
Don't give them all of yourself
'Cause one day, they won't be around
Can't go to them for help

Sometimes
I see myself five foot four, playing in my room alone
Sometimes
I see myself abusing thought, a nigga had no friends at all

Play it cool
Do out favorite just for you
Cool
Being cold and just for you

Disillusioned

I cannot help but notice
You find it's all lies, a thing you try
You think this shit's bogus
It isn't, you know this

Seen in my peripheral
You try to suffer bullshit
You find it all difficult
Giving up is typical
And all typical of you

And I'm- I'm scared of gettin' older, it weighs upon my shoulders
And you are scared of it too
So if maybe we should get together, we'll take it all all better
We should try something new, something new

Couldn't help but notice you
You smell like the roses
Looking nice minded but no focus, focus
But damn, you clean up the space
I'm flying the folks to your place
Everybody hates but not you
Everybody speed our new boo
Don't make me wait or I'll play
Just stay, you gotta think that
Don't make me wait or I'll play
Just stay, you gotta think that
Baby, please stay, please stay, please stay
Oh (hey), oh (hey), oh (hey)

And I'm- I'm scared of gettin' older, it weighs upon my shoulders
And you are scared of it too
So if maybe we should together, we'll take it all all better
Take it all all better
We should try something new
Try something new

Hop inside my Beemer with me, time to hit the road
Tomorrow's modern boxes, tank of gas, girl, let's go
Who cares where we end up, long as it's a place that's cool
Pasadena, Malibu, let's go somewhere new
Let's go to a board walk, watch the people walking by
We'll make fun of their outfits, we'll be sitting next too get high
Let's find a spot that's so secluded, do what lovers do
I love being reclusive and I love being with you

Buyers Remorse

I guess I got what I prayed for
Now you're in my bed
I guess we look good on paper
Thoughts run through my head

I know you think you've got me wrapped around your fingers
And what's behind those cold dead eyes? A life lingers

How 'bout if I lay you down? (How 'bout if I lay you down?)
You gotta go too often (would you hop out? If I lay you down, just hop out, bitch)
How 'bout if I lay you down? (How 'bout if I lay you down?)
Starting today (would you hop out? If I lay you down, just hop out, bitch)

I guess I got what I prayed for
Angels over head
And yeah, it's not what I slaved for
I worked myself to death

I know you think you've got me wrapped around your fingers
And what's behind those cold dead eyes? A life lingers

How 'bout if I lay you down? (How 'bout if I lay you down?)
You gotta go too often (would you hop out? If I lay you down, just hop out, bitch)
How 'bout if I lay you down? (How 'bout if I lay you down?)
Starting today (would you hop out? If I lay you down, just hop out, bitch)
How 'bout if I lay you down?
You gotta go too often
How 'bout if I lay you down?
Starting today

I wouldn't change
Oh, I wouldn't dare to change
How I feel about you
How I feel about it

Shot My Baby

Starin' out my window
Pistol in my palms
Tears soakin' my pillow
As I write this song

I caught my lady being untrue
Oh, what was I supposed to do, oh, no
I had to prove myself a man
'Cause clearly she don't think I can, oh, no

Singin' yes
I shot my baby down that day
Singin' yes
That nigga too, he stole my place, my place
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)

Stepped inside the room, I still have dreams about it
What did I see?
His arms are wrapped around you like he's been about it
I couldn't believe
Expression that I've never seen you wear before
Clothes that I bought thrown on the floor
Quietly I closed that bedroom door
Headed downstairs to the kitchen drawer

Singin' yes
I shot my baby down that day
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)
Singin' yes
That nigga too, he stole my place
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down) my place
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)

Singin' yes
I shot my baby down that day
Singin' yes
That nigga too, he stole my place, my place

(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)

Pain is Inevitable

Who runs the shore?
Who runs the shore?
Who runs the shore?

Who runs the shore? Who wears out the suspensions?
I need a lesson and miss high perfection
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist, you know the deal
I rarely listen, I forgot to mention
And I'm in need of a damn intervention
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist, you know the deal (you know the deal)

Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice

Now I'm a product, that must turn a profit
Something to prove, I'm a god, I'm a prophet
Tryna be something that's real
Comes at a price that's the deal
Against my better judgement
I agreed to something, too deep to turn back
I'll deal with it in the after life
Young nigga don't pay the price
Feels good to be nice

Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery is a choice

Pain

What if, tonight, Lucifer comes for you
Turns out, your light, light
I hope you're right (yeah)
'Cause nobody wants to be
(I don't wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby)
Alone, for life, light (love me a little bit)
So long, sweet boy (so long, sweet boy)
Soon, you'll leave me (baby, look what they did to me, baby)
Sweet, baby (look what they did to me, I used to be so sweet)
So hesitant (smiling all the time, giggling and shit)
So long, sweet boy (sweet boy)
Don't- don't leave this (I used to be a child)
(I just wanna be a child again)
Sweet as candy (sweet as candy)
(So, don't kiss where it burns) soft as a kiss (soft as a kiss)
(I miss my innocence, I miss trusting people)
(I used to trust)
(Look what they did to me, baby)

Homiesexual

Heard you found someone else
To sleep next to you
Homiesexual, but girl, I ain't judging
I know you were sick of my shit
Found yourself a bitch
One that's celibate, but I know you fronting

'Cause I know you like it nasty
Can't get that shit past me
I'm grabbing your throat
But I really hope you're happy
Is that booty clapping?
Wish you were home

Take down and reminisce
I know that you're feeling it
You miss me a little bit
Blow me a little kiss
When you see me, please relieve me
I know you're bad, and, baby, then you know yourself
Flights to see me everywhere that doesn't help
So let me be the person that's gon' notify you ('fy you)
Despite your ever time, gon' end back beside you ('side you)
And you wouldn't have it any other way
Yesterday, tomorrow, always

Heard you found someone else
To sleep next to you
Homiesexual, but girl, I ain't judging
I know you were sick of my shit
Found yourself a bitch
One that's celibate, but I know you fronting

'Cause I know you like it nasty
Can't get that shit past me
I'm grabbing your throat
But I really hope you're happy
Is that booty clapping?
Wish you were home

Yeah, heard you found someone else
Still ain't even find yourself
Sitting in my hotel, just scrolling and I noticed that your page on private
Why you hide yourself?
Why, my girl? Never meant to make you cry, my girl
I know you caught me in some lies, oh well
I'm not perfect, it' some worser than people in the churches
We ain't gotta do that back and forth with each other like a Verzuz
'Cause it is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't
And they can never love you like I can, hey
Love you like I can, someone said they seen you with your new man
Oh, I heard you found someone else

Heard you found someone else (oh, I heard)
To sleep next to you, yeah
Homiesexual, but girl, I ain't judging (girl, I ain't judging)
I know you were sick of my shit (sick of my)
Found yourself a bitch (found yourself)
One that's celibate, but I know you fronting

'Cause I know you like it nasty
Can't get that shit past me
I'm grabbing your throat
But I really hope you're happy
Is that booty clapping?
Wish you were home

Vince Van Gogh

They won't Van Gogh me
They hardly know me
Might have seen me outside like socially
My words come out clumsy
Make me sound bummy
My thoughts be like poetry
And when it comes down to it, separates me from phonies
But sometimes it's lonely

Haha, the psilocybin is hittin'
Welcome back, my nigga
Just a gentle reminder
Don't no one love you but your mama
Why should they?
It's beautiful, just don't stop being you
It's imperative that you remember this

Used to be ugly
Now I'm a handsome, Charlie Manson
Wrapped in a Snuggie
Sometimes I'm funny
But if you study
The rhymes that I dictate, in time, you'll all grow to love me
Then we'll be buddies

And furthermore
I would argue that the more they tell you that they hate you
The more they actually love you
The more real estate you occupy within their mind
I know it's confusing and contradictory
But all things are
That's kinda just life, you know?
And it's that serious
You shoulda told me, "I was sad to hold you"
What?

Superpowers

Oh, you got power, superpowers
Do you even know how to wield them?
All God's children are special
But not like you, no, not like you
You're just like a flower (flower)
You're ever-giving, that's a given
All God's children are special (all God's children, whoa)
But not like you, no, not like you

(Lift it, lift it, lift it)
Lift your head to the sky (to the sky, oh sky, sky)
(Lift it, lift it, lift it, lift it)

It's crazy to say this
But you are the greatest (you are the greatest)
Can't explain it (oh)
I know that you know, don't you?
They can't deny you, yeah
They can't deny you, it's true
Yeah, remember Vegas? You come a long way, kid
And let me just say this
Oh yeah, you're the main character now
You're the main character now
