[Intro]
Here again, you look me in the eye
And I'm staring back your way, as you wait for a reply
Let silence speak my truth
I just can't seem to find the words to say to you
That will appease your mind
Thought you would know by now
But you should know by now
That I don't wanna wait, forever is upon us
Wait for never would be wrong and
I can't go at it alone
Need you, need you right now
Ayy, I need you right now
Ayy, I need you

[Verse]
Hey, you got my back on the wall
But for the things I need, you ain't help me at all
I think its time that these walls crumble and fall
Yes, you indeed love me, but will you come when I call?
But would you come when I call?
But would you come when I call?
Yes, you indeed love me, but will you come when I call?
I think it's time that these walls crumble and fall
Your love is felt, not seen, I don't feel you at all, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Dissipate into me, circulate, let it bleed
Start me up like gasoline, you are my everything
(You are my everything, you are my everything...)

[Chorus]
So baby just touch me now, my hands are reaching out
Been waiting for so long, let's skip the talking now
Before it gets too late, forever is upon us
Wait for never would be wrong and
I can't go at it alone
Need you, need you right now
Ayy, I need you right now
Ayy, I need you

[Bridge]
Foolishly they be mixing
Love and a drug addiction
Bet they gon' feel the affliction
Watching them all as they fixing
Lust like it's all our religion, society slipping
Intro the grips of the rich and downward we're spiraling quick
(I just can't seem to find, the words to say to you)
Are you with me? (Yeah...) Are you with me now?

[Pre-Chorus - Variation]
Oh, dissipate into me...into me
Start me up like gasoline you are...gasoline you are my...
(You are my everything, you are my everything...)

[Chorus]
So baby just touch me now, my hands are reaching out
Been waiting for so long, let's skip the talking now
Before it gets too late, forever is upon us
Wait for never would be wrong and
I can't go at it alone
Need you, need you right now
Ayy, I need you right now
Ayy, I need you

[Verse - Variation]
Hey, you got my back on the wall
I think its time that these walls crumble and fall
Yes, you indeed love me, but will you come when I call?
But would you come when I call?
But would you come when I call?
Yes, you indeed love me, but will you come when I call?
I think it's time that these walls crumble and fall
Your love is felt, not seen, I don't feel you at all, no

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
