[Intro]
Alright, alright
So we'll go: a one, a two
A one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Did you pick up?
Did you pick up?
Man, did you pick up?
Man, you said that you would, man
Why you screwin' up? Like
Why you ain't livin'?
Why you ain't livin' with the stars that written?
Thought you said you knew your mission
You a star, why we yet to even see you glisten?
He was poppin', droppin' fire every day of the week
They were plottin', never stoppin' till the officer would blink
Ever since they are the world, they are hearin' me speak
Lately company that's wantin' me is company needs

[Bridge]
Everything was goin' so good, oh, so good
Caught up in what I need and what look good
'Cause the powers that be know I love my family
But I got that gift 'cause I see that every bit of the life is me

[Pre-Chorus]
Told me, "Dreaming is cool, but why you dream when we believin' you should do good school?"
Probably 'cause that readin' [?] to bein' a fool
Lifeguard and [other poses?], see me jump in the pool

[Chorus]
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

[Verse 2]
Talkin' 'bout words, talkin' 'bout rhythms
Talkin' 'bout music; man, that shit's my religion
Beats got me talkin' to God
Really talkin' to myself, but don't feel different at all
Is it one and the same?
Point of view due to my attitude these days
Wonderin' really what is truth these days
The criminal decides if the crime does pay
The life you live is the life you make
And I can't sleep right in this bed I made
Need the darkness I've been projectin' lifted, turn to protection
But I'm never happy where I am, damn, who woulda guessed it?
Always aimin' for the sky when I'm finally feelin' grounded
Quick to forget who I am in the air anywhere till I've landed

[Bridge]
So I think it's time that I grew up
To knew us, two years back nobody knew us
Had to play the game just to gain a bunch of new buds
EP summer for a team be the true us

[Chorus]
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
