falling or flying Album Lyrics by Jorja Smith

Try Me

Ask me about me again
You know it hurts to feel it
You should read between these
Ask me about me again
Even when my heart declines
Nothing works when I don't
Go 'head, try me
'Cause I'm safe behind these walls
Think you can take me through the fog where I'm no challenge
Childish, childish
Yeah, you, you can try me

I've changed?
There's only been one thing that I've changed
Nothin' is ever enough
I don't have to tell you what I've changed, oh-oh, no
'Cause I couldn't tell you that I've changed (changed)
There's only been one thing that has changed (changed, changed)
Nothin' is ever enough (changed)
I don't have to tell you what I've changed, no-oh, no (changed, changed)
'Cause I couldn't tell you that

Wait, I think too fast at times
I try to keep it out
But it don't work even though I try to forget that
Even though I try to forget that
I know that it's hard to ignore it
I know that it's heartless to play me
Go 'head, try me

I've changed?
There's only been one thing that I've changed
Nothin' is ever enough
I don't have to tell you what I've changed, oh-oh, no
'Cause I couldn't tell you that I've changed (changed)
Only been one thing that has changed, changed, changed
Nothin' is ever enough (changed)
I don't have to tell you what I've changed, no-oh (changed, changed)
'Cause I couldn't tell you that

Hoping I've learned
Take back your word
Might hurt, but I won't hide
I know myself (I know myself), I know I wasn't
The only one that has been through what I have today
Can you wait for this second?
To please somebody else other than your needs (somebody else)
You've got a lot left under your seas (under your seas, yeah)
But your heart's not on your sleeve
Try to believe me though
Gotta listen, gotta learn, gotta live, gotta fight, gotta earn
And your mind's made up on me
I said your mind's made up on me
Gotta live, gotta learn

She Feels

You know it feels good when I'm
At last, it feels good to know
Years goin' fast, a memory
Come back when I feel alone
I feel fine, but I woke up
I still can't look for me 'cause it's all burned down to dust now
Said you'd look for me when you woke up
And you can't say a thing when it's gone now
'Cause you don't have love for me no more

They think that they know me here
But I know you know why I've been quiet, been myself for years
Could I save you?
Been holdin' back these same tears
Oh, should I worry that you're someone that I never know, never know?

'Cause I love to see you in all these places
'Round these familiar faces
I hope you good with favours
Would you remember me?
When it'll be us goin' back to basics
I'm tired of all the fake shit
Seen all your sides, your faces

You know it feels good when I'm
At last, it feels good to know
Years goin' fast, a memory
Come back when I feel alone
I feel fine, but I woke up
I still can't look for me 'cause it's all burned down to dust now
Said you'd look for me when you woke up
And you can't say a thing when it's gone now
'Cause you don't have love for me no more

Did I mix up my words?
You don't get what I said
No, it wasn't workin'
It wasn't worth it
No, I know I've done my best
I know I tried and you loved it
What have you done for me (?)?
What have you done?

'Cause I love to see you in all these places
'Round these familiar faces
I hope you good with favours
Would you remember me?
When it'll be us goin' back to basics
I'm tired of all the fake shit
Seen all your sides, your faces

You know it feels good when I'm (You know it feels good)
At last, it feels good to know (It feels good)
Years goin' fast, a memory (years are goin' fast)
Come back when I feel alone (Yeah, yeah)
I feel fine, but I woke up
I still can't look for me 'cause it's all burned down to dust now
Said you'd look for me when you woke up
And you can't say a thing when it's gone now
'Cause you don't have love for me no more

Little Things

I didn't know that you'd be here tonight
Saw you again, think this must be a sign
Nothing you said, it was all in your eyes, oh
Can I get close, even for just one time?

It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then, that's alright
It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then, that's alright

With you, it's such a sweet escape
So, if we leave, will anybody notice?
If you don't want to play these games
Just tell me what you need and we can go there

Only here for the weekend
I've just stepped out with my friends
Don't tell me that you're leaving
Think I came at the right time
Do you know what's on my mind?
Can you stay for the evening?

It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then, that's alright
It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then, that's alright

Just the little things that get me high and keep me going
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
Just the little things for you and I
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
Just the little things that get me high and keep me going
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
Just the little things that get me high and keep me going
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it

What time is it?
When the party start?

Feelings

(ft. J Hus)

Any other day, any other time, I'll be on my way
There was a time where you tried, and you'd say
"Why would you fight what was inside?"
That wasn't part of the plan
Now I know, they should go

Lookin' for some reasons
Tell me there's something wrong with it
Tell me there's something inside that I need
You know you're not gonna stay the night, no
I just need one reason
I know there's nothing wrong with it
It's hard to pretend, it's not what I want
Way too close to read my mind (yeah)

I know you got your reasons, yeah
I know the meanin'
I know you're still healin', baby
But you're still appealin'
Hope you don't think I'm reachin'
But I got feelings to the ceilin'
And I'm still in my feelings, gyal
You know you're very well seasoned
I know you got your reasons, yeah
I know the meanin'
I know you're still healin', baby
But you're still appealin'
Hope you don't think I'm reachin'
But I got feelings to the ceilin'
And I'm still in my feelings, baby
You know you're very well seasoned

I'm likin' the way that you talk to me nice
You know what you're doin', don't look in my eyes
Oh, that one time when I say what I say when everyone was over
Only been two times that we've done what we did
When I put it on you, when I put it on you

Lookin' for some reasons
Tell me there's something wrong with it
Tell me there's something inside that I need
You know I'm not gonna stay the night, no
I just need one reason
I know there's nothing wrong with it
Hard to pretend, it's not what I want
I want you to read my mind

I know you got your reasons, yeah
I know the meanin'
I know you're still healin', baby
But you're still appealin'
Hope you don't think I'm reachin'
But I got feelings to the ceilin'
And I'm still in my feelings, baby
You know you're very well seasoned

In my feelings, I'm feelin' my sorrow
I want you today, I want you tomorrow
I want you to stay, I'm not gonna borrow
I steal you forever, I take you Morocco
Me and you together, you're drivin' me loco
I wanna be with you, I don't wanna be solo
J Hus, aka Elle Zollo
When you call me, I'll be there, comin' pronto
But I kept it G, I never spent a (?)
Make her splash and I dash, you know that's the motto
She drivin' me, I'm inside a moto
Your (?) feels like I just won the lotto
Touchin' me, she feelin' my muscle
I spend time with you, I'm pausin' my hustle
Pour something in my cup, me and you are a couple
Bad man, but sometimes I wanna cuddle

I know you got your reasons, yeah
I know the meanin'
I know you're still healin', baby
But you're a still appealin'
Hope you don't think I'm reachin'
But I got feelings to the ceilin'
And I'm still in my feelings, gyal
You know you're very well seasoned
I know you got your reasons, yeah
I know the meanin'
I know you're still healin', baby
But you're still appealin'
Hope you don't think I'm reachin'
But I got feelings to the ceilin'
And I'm still in my feelings, baby
You know you're very well seasoned (baby)

Falling or flying

This ain't what your mother told you, it's night and day
If you're waitin' for a sign to come and hold me
Well, you might as well spend all your night guessin' (oh)
If this ain't what your mother told you, forget what she said (oh-ooh)
If you want this to be real, then show me you want me
Don't play it safe with me (no, love)

Won't work if I'm numb
Won't stop if I love
Who hurts if you don't?
Don't fall from these heights
Won't stop if you won't
Won't learn if you don't
Who else could get me
To fall from these heights?

I don't know where you are, but I don't wanna go to sleep, babe
I know you care, but please, don't take it easy on me, babe
Ooh-ooh, hey
I could be fallin', flyin', I wouldn't know the difference

There's no way that I'll say that I did wrong
But it won't hurt, and now I know that you could be mine
Well, it's taken a while to know what's
Between love and lust
No matter what, you know I love the words
Do what you want, I can't even say what's in my head (hm-mm)

Won't work if I'm numb
Won't stop if I love
Who else could get me
To fall from these heights?

I don't know where you are, but I don't wanna go to sleep, babe
I know you care, but please, don't take it easy on me, babe
Ooh-ooh, hey
I could be fallin', flyin', I wouldn't know the difference

I don't know where you are, but I don't wanna go to sleep, babe
I know you care, but please, don't take it easy on me, babe
Ooh-ooh, hey
I could be fallin', flyin', I wouldn't know the difference

GO GO GO

You like to feel a way about it all
I don't feel like I care anymore
You like to kiss and tell, about it all
I don't know you that well
And I'm not tryna get to know you

One more night 'til I let you down
I let you down, you gotta go
One more night 'til I'm sayin' bye
You been around long enough

I close my eyes, don't wake me no more
I break the ties, I'm gone for good now
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no
I close my eyes, don't wake me no more
I break the ties, I'm gone for good now
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no, no-no-no-no-no

(Now, now)
You like to feel a way about it all
I don't feel like I care anymore

And that's how bad I feel
It's a shame that you want more (shame that you want)
It's not that you were bad for me
So don't be paranoid

One more night 'til I let you down
I let you down, you gotta go (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
One more night 'til I'm sayin' bye
You been around long enough

I close my eyes, don't wake me no more
I break the ties, I'm gone for good now
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no
I close my eyes, don't wake me no more
I break the ties, I'm gone for good now
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no, no-no-no-no-no

No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no, no-no-no-no-no
No, no, no-no, no, no, no
No, no, no-no, no, no-no-no-no-no

You like to feel a
You-you-you, you like to feel a
You like to feel a
You-you-you, you like to feel a

Try and fit in

No, you couldn't explain a single word you made last week
You've been tired, you've been workin'
To make sure that you (?)
Told you do yourself a favor, always tryin' to fit in
Mm, know you thinkin' that you wanna quit it
Thought you couldn't spend a minute on yourself last week (ooh)
You've been holdin' in your problems, all the years you don't speak (ooh)
You've been in it for so long, you think you know what life is (ooh)
And the pressure that you carry may be more than you think

Say, money will change your pockets, not your mindset
(Money will change your pockets, not your mindset)
Only gonna run from your problems 'cause it's harder to care
Say, money will change your pockets, not your mindset
(Money will change your pockets, not your mindset)
Only gonna run when you got it, 'cause it's harder to care
(Only gonna run when you got it, but you know you won't care)

Greatest Gift

(ft. Lila Iké)

You're the greatest gift I found (I found)
My time with you is everything (everything)
All you do is make me proud (proud)
You've got a lot to unfold, but you never give in (never give in)

And surely this is love, you are worth it
I promise to make sure you'll never fall far from your grace
I hope that you know you are never too far from your purpose
I hope you receive it whatever you are, I'm so thankful I've got you

You got me, I'm still right
Here with the realest love
You got me, I'm still right
Even in the, the wickedest times, yeah
Feel what you wanna feel right now
You got me, I'm still right here

You're the sweetest thing I've known (I've known)
And I wish I could shield you from all of these lows in my life
But just look how far you go, oh no
These little wings will do more than just carry you home, home (carry you home)

Surely this is love, you are worth it
I promise to make sure you'll never fall far from your grace
I hope that you know you are never too far from your purpose
I hope you receive it whatever you are, I'm so thankful I've got you

You got me, I'm still right
Here with the realest love
You got me, I'm still right
Even in the, the wickedest times, yeah
Feel what you wanna feel right now
You got me, I'm still right here

'Cause you're the greatest gift
Just know that where you are is where you're meant to be
So tap inna yourself and your identity
And tek your time
And I can tell you this
The roughest and the toughest, yeah, we've been through it
The struggles a nuh nothing, yeah, you built fi dis
Just tek your time

You got me, I'm still right
Here with the realest love
You got me, I'm still right
Even in the, the wickedest times, yeah
Feel what you wanna feel right now
You got me, I'm still right here

Broken is the man

I woken up to my thoughts comin' 'round
And I've givin' in to this game that ain't real
I figured out, where do you go if you can't play games?
Play me, play, God, the love was overrated
You know what you were doin'
And you know what you was sayin'
Why'd you point the blame
When it's you you should be blamin'?

I wish you found the man that you thought I'd want to be with
I wish you found the man that you thought I should have been with

I met a man who told me that he'd hold me when he can
Told me I'm broken, but I'll take it
And I was in the wrong
I met a man, did everything he could to put me down
Just to build me right back, I was never broken
'Cause broken is the man

Can you believe I put myself through that all?
Just to realize you mean nothing to me
I let you in, I let you play around with my flaws
My mind, I checked in every conversation
I'm such an open book, I have no filter, I just say shit
Next time that little voice in my head begins to question
Listen to it 'cause you're never, ever gonna save them
And you know that it wasn't love

I met a man who told me that he'd hold me when he can
Told me I'm broken, but I'll take it
I was in the wrong
I met a man, did everything he could to put me down
Just to build me right back, I was never broken
'Cause broken is the man

Make sense

I'm just tryna make sense of this
Wasn't waitin' for somethin' else that I could fall for
I weren't wishin' for a love like this, no
You're openin' up for me, so I can

Funny how it happenas when the rain falls, rain's outside
And it never would've happened if I stayed in on this night
If you only wanna walk when the sun's out, you would never know what burns
Only gonna happens when the rain's done, never know what you'll find

A home in you I found
A home in you I found

Why I couldn't make sense of this is
'Cause a love like this is nothin' I have known before
I've known nothin' but sink or swim
And you're holdin' me up, so I am

Funny how it happens when the rain falls, rain's outside
And it never would've happened if I stayed in on this night
If you only wanna walk when the sun's up, you would never know what burns
Only gonna happen when the rain's done, never know what you'll find

A home in you I found
A home in you I found

(Funny how it happens when the rain falls, rain's outside)
(And it never would've happened if I stayed in on this night)
(If you only wanna walk when the sun's up, you would never know what burns)
(Only gonna happen when the rain's done, never know what you'll find)

Too many times

There's so many times that I
That I have lost my mind
Whoever that I
Can't test but I, can't lie
I've tried savin' my face but
Not sure that's what I wanted
Know I, oh, I
I thought I did before

"This life isn't what you asked," as I thought out loud
I travelled far for this, do you wonder why I still drown?
And I hold my breath, and I take my chance, you're too used to this now
When there's nowhere left, well, who's pullin' me up? Mm

I could tell that I'm missed, I surely can, but that will never stop me
I've always had this crown but they can only taste it, now
I could tell that I'm missed, I surely can, but that will never stop me
I have always had this crown but they can only taste it, now

What you say? This ain't right, this one left
Come back home, I ain't got time for this
Who you love, who you blame, what's for this?
When did you make you make up your kind that I had time for this?
Been too long, two months, but I now I called you up
Hate you to death but you know nothing about me
Held you and if you don't hear the words I said
Maybe you could feel when the pain is there

I could tell that I'm missed, I surely can, but that will never stop me
I've always had this crown but they can only taste it, now
I could tell that I'm missed, I surely can, but that will never stop me
I have always had this crown but they can only taste it, now

Lately

Lately, what I say could hurt you now
I'm here in the middle of the night, I'm callin' out
Was safe with you, I'll be gone before you let me down
And you know it's true, oh
Lately, what I say could hurt you now
I'm here in the middle of the night, I'm callin' out
Was safe with you, I'll be gone before you let me down
And, and you know it's true, oh

Oh Lord, Lord knows if I
But when things come full, will pay the price
Mm
What is this for me? What is this for you?
What is this life? It was ours, I'm so grateful to know
Mm
I'm not searchin' or stoppin', and not waitin' for your faith
Didn't love to go
No chasin' or wonderin', always had you as a friend
It feels hard to say no, oh
I'm not sayin' I'm perfect, but we had more than somethin'
Doesn't always work out

Lately, what I say could hurt you now
I'm here in the middle of the night, I'm callin' out
Was safe with you, I'll be gone before you let me down
And you know it's true, oh
Lately (Lately), what I say could hurt you now
I'm here (I'm here) in the middle of the night, I'm callin' out (Oh-oh)
Was safe with you (Oh-oh), I'll be gone before you let me down (Let me down)
And you know it's true, oh

Not often fast
And I got this pack
One night but I won't take it back
Won't lie, just knew wouldn't get it
I lie 'cause I regret it
They say you won't regret something that you never did

Backwards

Once upon a time there were scenes that we didn't mind, oh
Like hopin' for a ride, movin' fast, never lookin' back, was
Play your favorite songs till the ones to make you feel the same, oh
Once upon a time, drivin' fast, never lookin' back

I know that I know how
To find what's in my blood
I'm done lettin' myself down
My heart came from the right place
I don't wanna cause her ache
But my mind just couldn't chance that
And to do with these emotions
Can't stop fire, still get burned
And I'll fuel it like I ain't now
'Cause it hurts me if I hurt you
So I hurt you, so you hate me
But you only, but you can't out

How you held it, oh
I hope that you see
There's no way you would've known, oh
How you help me

Now I'm drivin' fast at the way that you used to drive, oh
I jump into your bed, leave your days, they would never mind
Tell me all the lives that I read that was love and the shine
All these little things that went missin', still get over in it

You taught me about patience
Where's all in expectations
You show me what's my ground
I stand here and I look down
At myself and I'm so proud
Thank you, 'cause I figured out
What's best for me is in my own now
It's been a while and I'm grown now
But I'd never grown if you were still 'round
You show me what's meant to be
What's meant for you and not meant for me
And we'll find out this is life

How you held it, oh
I hope that you see
There's no way you would've known, oh
How you help me

What if my heart beats faster?

Please, don't take for granted what I said on the phone if I was sorry
You shouldn't take for granted what I said on the phone if I was sorry, now
Don't forget to leave a message if you got a problem and not ask me about, mm
Whatever you say, whatever you do, I don't really care
Tell me 'bout the lies in the corner of your smile, I think we've all got them
I don't think it's funny all the time but you may see that I laugh off it anyway, well
I couldn't decide how I felt the time that my face said differently
Funny how life will change but they never figure it out

If I ever find my heart beat faster
I could love for hours to not open up
I should call this off knowin' that I'll never feel how they could
Funny how life will change but they never figure you out

You can't read my mind and tell me something that you think I would like, and I
I'm just bein' polite, no, I'm not tryin' to offend you, I just know better tonight
I finally realized what I like and I didn't have always been this way
Funny how life will change but they never figure it out

If I ever find my heart beat faster, oh
I could love for miles and still not open up
I should call this off knowin' that I'll never feel how they could
Funny how life will change but they never figure it out
Funny how life will change but they never figure you out

Only realize that all the times that I've had so many signs for this now
You won't even know what's really right even if you have it all and deny
I could read your mind and try and tell you something nice but it's worth more than that
You will never know how much I feel 'cause it looks back, I feel nothing at all
I'm not tryin' to run, you just did the one I did, it's been over
I was always scared of bein' so close so I'd never had to feel like this, no, well
You could try and tell me how this hurts, knowin' that I'll never feel how you feel, oh
I used to be the bad days all the time but instead I would just hold it down, oh
There's no need to run, no need to hide 'cause I figured out I got this, oh
You'll never understand what's on my mind and I know that it cuts deep

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
