[Intro: Sample with Female Singer] How can I give you, what you're asking for? Oh baby When the feeling is gone (when the feeling is gone) [Verse 1: Classified] It's been a while since we last conversated, still can't believe we never made it Lookin back at the way it was, high school love, both of us embraced it Let me take it back a bit, to the place where the whole story starts Before we ever had a clue or even knew, how hard relationships are We was in the same class and I, use to try to make her laugh, then I Tried to take it farther then a friend, but she just a little hesistant It took longer then I thought, yeah I'll admit it, but I stayed patient Was a lot like the music game, never had the skills but I had the motivation Then in Grade 12, hooked up, became officially involved I got the lady I've been waitin on, you could say the the mystery is solved I graduated that year but never left, stayed another one Told my parents I was upgradin, really I was waitin for you to be done After that, moved to the big city, got a small place together Slept, lived, drank, ate together, but it made it hard for us to stay together Life is oh so unexpected, shouldn't have, the good and bad Now I'm lookin back at it all, these are problems a man and woman have [Chorus: Chad Hatcher (Kaleigh Cole) - w/ ad libs] She says that I should leave, she says I should go She don't understand, all I've been waitin for is everything {is everything} For something {for something}, to change {change} (But I think that I should stay, things could be the same It's just me and you, with no one to blame But you don't see {but you don't see} It's only me {it's only me}, that would change) {changeee} How can I give you, what you're asking for, ohhhh baby When that feeling is gone [Verse 2: Classified] So after about a year or so, a lot of bickerin and fightin came Everything we had together, fell apart slow, never seemed worth the pain More hatin then there was lovin, both arguin about nothin Neither one of apologize, I guess the two of us were too stubborn Still lived together though, though decided maybe we should take a break I never really wanted that, I just wanted change, that was my mistake I never thought we would break up, never thought I'd find another like her But I was still thinkin we'd get back together and these loose ends would become tighter But no way, no luck, threw the towel in, we broke up I moved out, choked up, depressed every day I woke up Found out she had another man and this is when it really hit home Fuck I lost everything I had and I ain't the type who likes to be alone Now I'm tryin to move along and I felt it difficult to stay strong But dark days always brighten up, if the fight in ya keeps movin on A couple months after all of this, I bumped into another girl I knew Had a couple dates in high school, a type of girl you don't forget, simply beautiful We talked for a little bit, we took some time out and reminisced And I forgot about my dark days, she taught me heartbreak can lead to happiness When I was down and had no faith, she showed me everything is okay My soul mate, I never would of thought a break up could end so great [Chorus: w/ ad libs] [Outro: Sample with Female Singer] How can I give you, what you're asking for? Oh, let's go our separate ways, oh baby

[INTRO] (Memories in the corner of my mind, flashbacks I was laughing all the time) x3 You're getting older. Glass is half full or half empty [Verse 1] I turn the page on my calendar Oh how the months fly Another day passed, another sunrise Another cloudy day feels like I'm out of shape Worn down, out of place, choked up and tongue tied The weather's getting colder The furnace doesn't heat me it's harsh growing older My grandmothers both passed And the year before last, my grandfather never woke up from his nap I used to hang around with my crew everyday Now, we might have a drink like every other week Life changes in a blink Shit, my eyelids are sore I still can't believe my aunt and uncle got divorced Got me feeling nauseous Too many times I almost lost it Gotta stay responsible but I feel exhausted And when my man Shane Jackson died He had my eyes leaking like the kitchen faucet I'm drained out I wish I never had to grow up The baggage is too heavy for anybody to hold up I used to never have a care in the world And it changed, and I thought am I prepared for this world? I don't know [Hook] Just let it go, let it go now Just let it go, let it go now And you will learn how to run And you will always be The one who found your way, young The sun that made the day, young And you will walk away Number one, one, one, run, run... [Verse 2] Every night we lay to rest So every morning is a rebirth I walked so many paths that my ankles and my feet hurt I was always hands on, always wanted to be first I'm glad I've grown strong and did my research They try to tell me things get better with time And every morning is a new day, open your blinds I always think about the yesterdays And the things I used to stress and be depressed about I'm glad I axed 'em out I'm glad I've grown It's good to be alive Enjoy it cause when the wind blows the years breeze by These lines on my face and bags under my eyes A proof that I've been living and experienced a life I know I lost some old friends and my grandmothers' gone But I made more new friends and my daughter was born Everything I got excited about that grew old I get more joy watching her experience unfold I've seen it all The fakeness, the greatness I'm smarter, I'm sharper, I'm confident and patient I'm more at peace and comfortable with my identity A lot of shit I went through as a kid can stay a memory Let it be [Hook] [OUTRO] (Memories in the corner of my mind, flashbacks I was laughing all the time) X2 I turn the page on my calendar Oh how the months fly Another day passed, another sunrise Another cloudy day feels like I'm out of shape Worn down, out of place, choked up and tongue tied Just let it go, let it go now...

Amnesia I need ya, 'cause I can't forget that feeling And I can't get it off my mind, been waiting for the hands of time To heal me, protect me, wipe my memory empty I'm willing and ready for a reset 'Cause I just can't wait to get Amnesia Let me come down from the ceiling put my feet back on the floor 80 lbs of pressure feel it deep inside the core I been flying high but its been harder to endure Went from sitting on the bench to a starter on the court Let me black out like the past, passed out I'm half maxed out, that close to tapped out Take the wheel from me Somethings wrong man I feel funny Like is a monopoly but we playing with real money Anxiety is through the roof Best friends flew the coup Put my head through the a loop I just wanna slow it down, round and round like hula hoops 'Cause my mind keeps racing let me rest it Let me rinse away my problems, everything I'm second guessing Its been taking up my time and I don't know what I been left with I just need a minute Just a minute to forget it 'cause I'm almost at my limit Can I get a bit of Amnesia I need ya, 'cause I can't forget that feeling And I can't get it off my mind, been waiting for the hands of time To heal me, protect me, wipe my memory empty I'm willing and ready for a reset 'Cause I just can't wait to get Amnesia Amnesia - Hit me with the best My amnesia Is rolling up this sativa Is turning the music louder in my speaker, speaker It's me and my boys trying to beat each other over FIFA It's watching my daughter's game from the bleachers, bleachers Take my mind to somewhere else I been stressing over little things. Any and all distractions help It's the way you calm me down When I fall on rocky ground It's like every step I take you're there with me like Bobby Brown And life gets harder then you might guess I been treading water but I'm sinking in my life vest Never get it twisted though I know that I been quite blessed But dealing with this life stress Got me on the brink, man I think I need Amnesia I need ya, 'cause I can't forget that feeling And I can't get it off my mind, been waiting for the hands of time To heal me, protect me, wipe my memory empty I'm willing and ready for a reset 'Cause I just can't wait to get Amnesia Amnesia, - Hit me with the best Amnesia, - Hit me with the best And it's - always on my mind And it's - always on my mind Amnesia I need ya, 'cause I can't forget that feeling And I can't get it off my mind, been waiting for the hands of time

I guess I should thank you For every parting remark that you left unsaid If this were a text, you You'd probably leave that shit on read I guess I should thank you For severing ties with no second thoughts If this were a flesh wound You would've cauterized it on the spot Desperate for love Your leftover crumbs They had to suffice And pining for you To finally approve Was always my vice And I still didn't know who I was I was just an extension of The ghost town that I haunted And the love I could've sworn that I wanted And I still didn't know who I was And as the comet collides with the Sun I'm dispelled in all directions Lost all traces of myself in your affection I still didn't know I was new but I learned to Fade into nothingness just to escape your rage I knew when I saw you Weaponizing that impassive look on your face You'd always foresee The problem was me When something went wrong So did your clairvoyant mind Get this one right Now that I'm gone Cause I still didn't know who I was I was just an extension of The ghost town that I haunted And the love I could've sworn that I wanted And I still didn't know who I was And as the comet collides with the Sun I'm dispelled in all directions Lost all traces of myself in your affection I still didn't know It's always on your terms You're so misunderstood And how I wish I could Open mouth, insert foot For every time I'd say That I was there to stay Molded myself like clay But look what you became So I'm still finding out who I am Call it whatever you want but I can't Pursue a moving target Hit the brakes on the momentum that I started So I'm still finding out who I am Now that I'm not in the palm of your hand I'm ejected out of orbit Read the writing on the wall that you distorted Now you'll never know You'll never know

Rooted down, down to the spot and I visualize the day I finally open up The ground beneath me erupts Standing on, standing on a ledge and Willing all these years of dormant apathy Into kinetic energy And did you Curse my name when I took flight, or Do you just hope that I'm alright, I'm Out of sight, I'm probably out of mind But I could get used to, used to feeling like this I could get used to, used to feeling like this Kept all my, kept all my windows boarded Figures that when I was ready for a fight There's no more foes in sight I did my best impression of an Esau They weren't impressed so now I'm shedding the disguise And forfeit my birthright Before you claim that it was deception Are you sure it wasn't your projection I would explain but I don't have reception here But I could get used to, used to feeling like this When I leave the shadows of a Life I never really had But its grip on me was ironclad And I could get used to, used to feeling like this In a new frontier You always told me I would die out here And kept me locked inside with all my fears When my walls caved in The light came pouring in Had to teach my lungs how to breathe again I'll break through the heliosphere You'll say I'm just what you feared But in space, love, no one can hear And when my walls caved in The light came pouring in Had to teach my lungs how to breathe again I'll break through the heliosphere You'll say I'm just what you feared But in space, love, no one can hear Across a million lightyears Across a million lightyears

Sometimes I wish they would reach out Sometimes I want them To tell me they're worried about me I'm silent as a passive act As an avoidant act, and I wish I had the chance To be silent As a deafening act of defiance

I just wanted more time Just to be you and I Hard to picture this time next year Oh Remember that overnight to Portland I knew then that we were more than Than just another mistake I made Oh In all those long drives We forged our new lives And I don't know who I'd Be without you So long live the magic we created In watercolor paints and In the memories we made And long live the futures we imagined And the plans that didn't happen And everything we have been We were charting new land No one else understands Well, let's just let their approval be damned Oh And I think at least in some way We were coming of age We didn't know any better then Oh In all those long drives We forged our new lives And I don't know who I'd Be without you So long live the magic we created In watercolor paints and In the memories we made And long live the futures we imagined And the plans that didn't happen And everything we have been And everything we have been So wasn't every day Exactly what we made I don't see mistakes And wasn't every day Just exactly what we made There's nothing I would change Oh, oh So long live the magic we created In watercolor paints and In the memories we made And long live the futures we imagined And the plans that didn't happen And everything we have been And everything we have been
