Somebody Like You (Acoustic) - Half Measure

He just turned 19, she's 22 Now he got laid off this afternoon She's working part-time in a second-hand store Stacking dreams like books on her bedroom floor They burn the evening, smoking the dragon 'Cause in oblivion it feels like heaven She said, "It's true, I've been Waiting for somebody like you" I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be going too I've been waiting Waiting for somebody like you For somebody like you For somebody like you She built her kingdom on a secret Walls are falling down and mother's weeping There's gotta be a way to turn invisible Father's on his knees praying for miracles While she is driving down to Georgia With the sunset kissing her shoulders God knows it's true, I've been Waiting for somebody like you When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely I needed somebody to hold me I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be going too I've been waiting Waiting for somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be going too I've been waiting Waiting for somebody like you Wouh For somebody like you Oh, eternal silence Nobody here to steal our time Sunburnt skin and There are no mountains we need to climb If you go there, I will go there Never look back 'cause we still got time All of my life, I've been waiting I've been waiting for somebody like you For somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be going too I've been waiting Waiting for somebody like you I let my guard down for a moment Wherever you go, I'll be going too I've been waiting Waiting for somebody like you

And tonight I'll let you take over Drunk off love you won't see sober I wish I never fell in love with Somebody like you Our home came with 40 roaches in the kitchen No lock on the door We used to sleep on a mattress that my bro found on the floor I was selling beats to take you to the out for ramen wish I had more But you were still down And I was happy though we lived rough I ain't had 7 dollars to my name In my bank account a buck fifty But I could give a fuck I could be kicking rocks until I'm kicking dust As long as you was down to kick it with me I remember all that late night Loving FaceTime lying You thought I was playing GTA Bare sirens Dogs barking, guns blazing I'm trying To get your ass up out of this place And tonight I'll let you take over Drunk off love you won't see sober I wish I never fell in love with Somebody like you And tonight I'll let you take over Drunk off love you won't see sober I wish I never fell in love with Somebody like you Love so good I think I met you in a past life I should've known you wasn't ready for that fast life I'm always on the road, and I don't always act right But if you ever need a favor, you don't gotta ask twice Give you the shirt off my back, while bending over backwards We could be famous together, live happily ever after I could have shown you from early this would be a disaster Cause you're a gorgeous actress and I'm just a ghetto rapper Never should've had you but still Im trynna make plays You're the baddest in the city on your worst day I don't think I could ever forget our first date But now we're done I'm tryna go back to the first day This ain't the end of the story baby this shit a saga I would trade all my money and my Balenciagas Just to be with you maybe for one night Otherwise I might lose myself to this fast life And tonight I'll let you take over Drunk off love you won't see sober I wish I never fell in love with Somebody like you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I will cross Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved No better or no worse I just got lost! Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along may come A bigger one And you'll be lost! Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the firing starts Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Yo, I got you You're with the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with Shit, that's only half if they like you That's not even the half what they might do Don't believe me? Ask Michael See Martin, see Malcolm See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide So, for now they might choose your side But you succeed, prepare to be crucified Media meddles, people sue you, you settle Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto So, it's tough being Bobby Brown To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now And the question is, "Is to have had and lost Better than not having at all?" Because I'm Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Mist covered daylight Hearts wound up so tight Day turning into night Eyes closed tight Opened for the first time New skins for new wine Struggling with the old rhymn Of an outdated hymn First light Hold fast find rest Inside this room of white You'll see in time First light Hold fast find rest Inside this room of white You'll see in time First light Mist covered daylight Hearts wound up so tight Day turning into night Eyes closed tight Opened for the first time New skins for new wine Struggling with the old rhymn Of an outdated hymn First light Hold fast Mist covered daylight Inside Hearts wound up so tight Of white Day turning into night Hold tight Eyes closed tight Hold fast Opened for the first time Inside New skins for new wine Of white Struggling with the old rhymn Of an outdated hymn

Doors are open now Kids fill up the hall Dressing up so well Lining up the wall On a high school dance floor Staring at my shoes I was out of breath Walking up to you With my fathers tie on In 1982 Is it over now Fog clears in the hall All the lights are on Streamers start to fall On a high school dance floor Staring at my shoes I was out of breath Walking up to you With my fathers tie on In 1982 Pushing through the crowd Gotta get to you now On a high school dance floor Staring at my shoes I was out of breath Gotta get to you With my fathers tie on In 1982 Pushing through the crowd Gotta get to you now In 1982
