[Chorus]
The things that I would do to you with just a couple seconds
I would color every moment, make you feel like it's forever
I'm comin' over, so you can start undressin'
I'm givin' you a chance to finally make a good impression
On me, yeah
On me, I'll make you feel like it's forever
[Verse 1]
Because it's clear I'm getting bigger
I know you visualize my figure
I was the one that made you look
At your old girl and reconsider
You see me in that black dress
On the first date
And now I'm causin' frustration on your mind
Only in the best ways
Secretly I'm anxious
'Cause the thirst's never been mutual
It's unusual
That someone like you thinks I'm beautiful
It's beautiful, yeah
What we had was beautiful
Remember when you said
[Chorus]
The things that I would do to you with just a couple seconds
I would color every moment, make it feel like it's forever, baby
I'm comin' over so you can start undressin'
I hope this is my chance to finally make a good impression
On you
Mm-hmm, on you
[Verse 2]
But just when you think you have forever
He has you lost in your emotions
And you hate feeling so alone
And now your simping 'cause you know
You shouldn't have stayed until the morning
It wasn't worth all the heartache
It wasn't worth all of the pleasure
'Cause you were once a diamond
He made you feel like buried treasure
I guess
Nothing last forever
Nothing last forever, baby
Nothing last forever
[Chorus]
The things that I love to do to you with just a couple seconds
You colored every moment, made it feel like it's forever
And after a while, we've lost the real connection
And I realize there's others using the time we ain't been spending
No more
No more
[Outro]
I'm still lost holding in all of the anger
At the bottom of the ocean
And I thought you'd be my savior
I was distracted, unaware of his behavior
But when I started drowning
I didn't know he was the anchor
The things that I would do to you with just a couple seconds
I would color every moment, make you feel like it's forever
I'm comin' over, so you can start undressin'
I'm givin' you a chance to finally make a good impression
On me, yeah
On me, I'll make you feel like it's forever
[Verse 1]
Because it's clear I'm getting bigger
I know you visualize my figure
I was the one that made you look
At your old girl and reconsider
You see me in that black dress

Only in the best ways
Secretly I'm anxious

It's unusual
