lyrics

I’ve had four conversations
with four of my friends
one of them’s a woman
and three of them are men and
they know...they know...about
Zo Zo Zo

I understand RnB better in winter time
we all need somebody to hold
and I could write one EP about this dime
but there are so many types of love
we need to let shine
like, I could spit a verse
about how her body’s nice
but there are so many body types
that we need to celebrate
I know why rappers talk about gettin’ it
I’m just concerned about the messages
That we’re sending to the
young men out there

I’m too vanilla for some
too tender for most
why? Cause when we get down
I don’t strangle your throat?
can a man make some love
or do we always have to ---- ?
I can’t be passionate with you
if you don’t open up

I don’t wanna own you
change you
or make you my partner
I do wanna
hold you, feel you
and take things further

than Netflix and skippin’ breakfast
English is your second language
it’s not the only reason
we don’t communicate well
I’m scared of rejection
I fear you don’t want me
why is being myself
such a challenge?

I’ve always idealized
the perfect lover
lifestyle, interests,
physical connection sense of humour
but never have they ever intersected
so if i find one circle and lay in it’s crescent
then i’ll cherish your curves
and try to be present

I have so much gratitude
for what you have taught me
I hope we can talk about
what I want us to be
Then maybe
we’ll be together till May
when you leave, well
nothing is forever
not even the oldest trees
or the Arctic breeze
or the children in the parallel dimension
where i put my seed in your bush, for life

I don’t wanna own you
I’m a pagan lover
so I work in cycles
be mine this winter

I know our that our relationship’s
mostly physical
people underestimate
the flesh as spiritual
