Gone today, can you stay?
Will you be here tomorrow?
Tell me why it has to end,
I just want it back again
Gone today, can you stay?
Will you be here tomorrow?
So much time has passed,
But when can we get it back again?
Verse 1 (Yamin):
Here we go again,
Blow the dust off,
Spring rolls in,
Hold the duck sauce,
Leaves grow green, then golden come fall,
Never saw the forest for the trees with trunks tall,
Easier to notice, see, I refocus then open like a lotus in the motion of the orbit,
Feels like a solstice, better yet a pole shift, moments of closeness that grow into coldness,
And the reapproach, it's all in the process,
Everybody dying, never know who gonna go next,
The sun sets to a whole new day, don't be afraid when it goes away,
Can't get a new moon til its glow can fade, let it go through its phase in the role it plays,
Everybody wanna talk about the older days, but we got more road to pave, so let's go
Chorus
Verse 2 (DT):
So for me, it's not gonna end,
Cuz when it comes to time, I got lots to spend,
Every day is new, but it's not the trend,
Brand new start from the spot I'm in,
I begin at the ending and continue to grow,
Attitude like I never did it before,
Me and Dex been down for eight straight,
Still feels like we just opened the gates,
And it just gets better, we don't dwell on the past,
Rather use it as a guide in directing our path, and perfcting our craft,
We demonstrate range, prepared and aware anytime it could change,
You get caught up, you'll be drying on a line,
Signal was lost, no new number to dial,
And I don't need an operator to patch me,
And I don't wait around for the routine to catch me or the future to pass me,
The moment is now, The bonus is wisdom, understand is how,
Then you'll find that you can't resist it,
Breaking patterns that you never knew existed
Chorus
