Rosie on My Mind

[Intro – spoken, filtered] Yeah… Old soul, new problems Still thinking ’bout you [Chorus] Rosie on my mind when the record play Same four bars but it hit new ways Trying find God in the words I say Trying stay strong but I still feel gray Rosie… When the night don’t end Rosie… Still spinning in my head [Verse 1] I been chasing dreams with my eyes half-open Heart full of hope but the pride stay bloated Trying act solid but I still feel broken Smile for the crowd but my soul stay frozen She see past the flex, see the fear in me See the kid I was, see what I’m scared to be Everybody talk like they got the key She just sit back, say “Be who you be” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need applause I don’t need praise Just someone who hear me On my off-beat days [Chorus] Rosie on my mind when the record play Same four bars but it hit new ways Trying find God in the words I say Trying stay strong but I still feel gray Rosie… When the night don’t end Rosie… Still spinning in my head [Verse 2] I talk big dreams, but I doubt myself Build walls high just to guard myself If love a risk, I might card myself But she worth more than my armored shell She don’t need saving, she don’t need lies She see the truth sitting in my eyes If I fall short, she don’t criticize Just remind me stars take time to shine [Bridge – spoken / half-sung, Kanye-style] Maybe I ain’t perfect Maybe I overthink But when the world feel heavy You the calm between [Chorus – slightly sung / emotional] Rosie on my mind when the record play Same four bars but it hit new ways Trying find peace in the songs I make Trying learn love, not push it away Rosie… When the night don’t end Rosie… Still spinning in my head [Outro – beat fades, vinyl crackle] If this song never blow If the lights never come At least you know You was the one
