beabadoobee - This Is How Tomorrow Moves Album Lyrics

Sure, it's easy to talk
But I take it and I eat it with a cherry on top
Indulging in situations that are fabricated imaginations
Moments that cease to exist
Only want to fix it with a kiss on the lips
But I think I might
Take a bite

I wanted to see the world in color
Through your eyes and through your mind
I think that I like to sit and wonder
Through the night, I think I might
Wanna do it all over again

It gets harder to breathe
But I take it and I want it and I love when it bleeds
'Cause I'm craving expectations
That are unattainable temptations
I guess I'll just take the hit
But what's the point of trying if it turns into this?
'Cause I think I might
Take a bite

I wanted to see the world in color
Through your eyes and through your mind
I think that I like to sit and wonder
Through the night, I think I might
Wanna do it all over again

Moving backwards (I wanna do it all over again)
Stuck in reverse (I wanna do it all over again)
Some things get in the way (I wanna do it)

I wanted to see the world in color
Through your eyes and through your mind
I think that I like to sit and wonder
Through the night, I think I might
Wanna do it all over again

Spending too much time right in California
And for all this time, I've been for you
Will you call me a cab so I can finally get back?
Never felt that, I've never felt that

Always the same from the inside
Wanted to change, it took a big fight
Callin' your bluff, you'll see it real time
Wish you could see it's been a rough ride

I swear I tried
I swear I tried

Got a fragile heart, always thought you knew that
And you said from the start, "Guess that's how we do that"
Know you're stuck in the past, and tired of living so fast
It's not the plan, you wouldn't understand

Always the same from the inside
Wanted to change, it took a big fight
Callin' your bluff, you'll see it real time
Wish you could see it's been a rough ride

I swear I tried
I swear I tried

Keepin' it quiet 'til I hit back, and I know
They won't listen 'til I start to crack
And I pick up the pieces of what they left
And I know
Keepin' it quiet 'til I hit back and I know
They won't listen 'til I start to crack
And I pick up the pieces of what they left
And I know

They'll never know
They'll never know
They'll never know
They'll never know

Didn't believe the love you gave
It takes two people to make that mistake
You never tried
You never tried

It's such a shame, you don't cross my mind
But you did this one time
You did this one time

Wanderin' through the cheap escapes
Just avoiding all the things that I say
Could never admit I wasn't sure
Always fighting the feeling you were such a bore
So I got high
And I got high

It's such a shame you didn't put up a fight
But you did this one time
You did this one time
It's such a shame you don't cross my mind
But you did this one time

Keep on faking, just to make it
What's the point of fixing problems?
But it's broken, we were shameless
And we never tried to solve 'em
Keep on faking, just to make it
What's the point of fixing problems?
But it's broken, we were shameless
And we never tried to solve 'em
Keep on faking, just to make it
What's the point of fixing problems?
But it's broken, we were shameless
And we never tried to solve 'em

Why don't you just pull another?
A simple lover?
I'm not going for no other
I told my mother what you did, like a kid

And I already told you I just wanted to dance
Could you see me standing out here
With my outstretched hand?
I guess no one ever taught you how to be a real man, hm

Walking as the morning beckons
You said you'd be a second
Locked the back door, yeah, you should've mentioned
Guess I should've expected
I'm out here blue, what to do?

And I already told you I'm not part of the band
Please forgive me just for thinking it's a fleetin' romance
I guess no one ever taught you how to be a real man

Would you hold it down and take it if I gave you a chance?
Need the reassurance, baby, not a silly romance
Guess I'm used to being disappointed, falling too fast
If you want it, go and get it, and I hope you last
If you want it, go and get it, and I hope you last
Would you hold it down and take it if I gave you a chance?
Need the reassurance, baby, not a silly romance
Guess I'm used to being disappointed, falling too fast
If you want it, go and get it, and I hope you last
If you want it, go and get it, and I hope you last
Would you hold it down and take it if I gave you a chance?
Need the reassurance, baby, not a silly romance
Guess I'm used to being disappointed, falling too fast
If you want it, go and get it, and I hope you last
If you want it, go and get it, and I hope you last

Think I've been lying to myself
Wondering how it could have been
Struggling to keep it in
Or see eye to eye with something new
'Cause I can't keep chasing it
And I was only just a kid

Waiting for you
To tie my shoes
It's all gone loose, and the screws
Are with my old man
He's got nothing to lose
But to ruin my plans

I always wondered how you felt
Keeping all the secrets in
Find it hard to reason with
Lied to a girl who hardly knew
But thought the world of you
Trying to trust in something new

Still waiting on you
To tie my shoes
It's all gone loose, and the screws
Are with my old man
He's got nothing to lose
But to ruin my plans

In a way, I'm figuring it out at my own pace
Just a girl who overthinks about proportions or her waist
The creases on her face

Day like no other, and just another bad day

All I want to do is find the words to make it up to you
Making all the same mistakes
I guess there's still a lot to prove
And there's something I can't say in an ordinary way

Day like no other, and just another bad day

Waking up to hardly recognizing my own face
Just a stranger in the mirror, thinking
"Oh, what a shame, didn't think she'd look this way"

Don't look no different to how I looked yesterday

All I want to do is find the words to make it up to you
Making all the same mistakes
I guess there's still a lot to prove
And there's something I can't say in an ordinary way

Day like no other, and just another bad day

My brain's no good at fighting
My hands are tied and I'm out loose
And I'm no good at lying, I'm better at denying
The consequence that stands
Damn, I need a helping hand

Day like no other, and just another bad day

You do the dishes
I'll carry the load
To make up lost time
The trash to the brim, and I'm scared of it
But you always know just what to say
And I'm sorry if I'm coming home too late

I'm waking up to the gap on my blinds
Peeking sunlight
I'd do anything just to be with you
To sit and watch you slowly wake
And I'm sorry if I'm coming home too late

A hotel room only means I'll be with you soon
An American stay makes me feel so far away
So I promise, this time I won't be late
And a bar on the roof's
Not a good way to leave you to
And a seat on the plane only shows that we're miles away
So I promise, this time I won't be late

I'll do the dishes
We'll carry the load because we have time
I emptied the trash, like I said I would
And you'd never guess what I'd have to say
I'm not sorry 'cause this time I won't be late

Spent some time waiting for your face
Don't want to risk just making all the same mistakes
The highest I think I've ever been
Said I had the prettiest eyes he'd ever seen

Can't help going through it
Swear it's just the comedown that made me do it
My mind's spent and I show it
Wasting all my time just dwelling in it

'Cause I spent some time waiting for your face
Don't want to risk just making all the same mistakes
The highest I think I've ever been
Said I had the prettiest eyes he'd ever seen

Wound up with a purpose
I've been through this too many times to not notice
It's been rough, but I've felt worse
I'll pull myself back up, and you know this

'Cause I spent some time waiting for your face
Don't want to risk just making all the same mistakes
The highest I think I've ever been
Said I had the prettiest eyes he'd ever seen
He has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen

Every piece of me holds parts of you
Wish I could see that it feels much better when I'm with you
And when I get too high and I can't breathe
I can't lie, he has the prettiest eyes I've ever seen

Prettiest eyes I've ever seen
Prettiest eyes I've ever seen
The prettiest eyes I've ever seen

As she wakes, they all say
With wide-eyed gaze and amaze
How could something so uncomplicated
Still fill her brain?

Sweetest smile, with her eyes
Perfect style, she doesn't try
Why so many are so codependent, wasting time?
And I know somewhere, we both care
'Cause she's contemplating
We're both sat complaining, while we compare

She's a catch, but so am I
No point for my demise
And my problems are so aggravating
Through their eyes
And I know somewhere, it's unfair
Oh, it's exaggerated, we both elaborated
A cruel affair

Said he's getting tired, running as fast as he can
Daddy always said he was half of a man
Life worth living, but hard as it gets
Guess sometimes you learn to forget

And all I wanted the most
Was to see your name on the post
He said, he said

"Something about her is hard to regret" (falling slowly)
Every time she looks at him he's breaking a sweat (I think I'm lonely)

And all I wanted the most
Was to see her name on the post
She said, she said
She said, she said

I'm not waiting any longer for you
Realising, got nothin' to do with
Took too long for you to show it

He said, he said
He said, he said
He said, he said

Spinning out on what to say or what to do
Finding reasons for my constant change in mood
Said I'll see it to believe it, but who knows the actual truth?
'Cause I'm sure now, I'm sure

'Cause days blend to one when I'm on the right beaches
And the walls painted white, they tell me all the secrets
Don't wait for the tide just to dip both your feet in
'Cause I'm sure now, I'm sure

Find it hard to say, I know that I'm alright
Took a while for me to finally realise
That when I see it, I'll believe it
Giving me a peace of mind
I'm sure now, I'm sure

'Cause days blend to one when I'm on the right beaches
And the walls painted white, they tell me all the secrets
Don't wait for the tide just to dip both your feet in
'Cause I'm sure now, I'm sure

'Cause some days, I'm afraid to fall down
But I understand the coming outcome, pick it up if I allow it
Can't help it, can't help

'Cause days blend to one when I'm on the right beaches
And the walls painted white, they tell me all the secrets
Don't wait for the tide just to dip both your feet in
'Cause I'm sure now, I'm sure

Couldn't list all of the reasons
You're everything I want
Fallin' more at every season
You're everything I want
I'm everything you want

Now I see, the weather's got me down
But like the sun you'll come around
I had finally figured out
You were just around the corner
Oh, such a pretty sight
Now (ooh, ooh)
I'm tryna do it right this time

Out of all the silly feelings
People can say whatever they want
'Cause you're everything I want
And I don't need another thought

Now I see, the weather's got me down
But like the sun you'll come around
I had finally figured out
You were just around the corner
As the light shone on my face
Like a scent I almost taste
And it stayed with me for days
And I hope it lasts forever
You're such a pretty sight
Ooh (ooh, ooh)

I'm tryna do it right this time
I'm tryna do it right this time
I'm tryna do it right this time

In a state of finding comfort in familar places
That I know the sadness is only temporary
It comes and it goes
Like the weather in the summer

When the wind decides to move, I look up to the sky
And think, "At least we look at the same moon"
"At least we look at the same moon"
The one of many ways that I can think of you

The irony of looking up to something
Or even just somebody
Can't put the face onto the name
That I don't even know
The half of what you had
I had a dad that didn't know

We both looked at the sky and thought
"At least we look at the same moon"
"At least we look at the same moon"
I wish I had met the man who had left too soon

Scared to speak, finding words for an e-mail to you
Tried to see through the herd to find it stuck on my shoe
Hanging on, piece of gum, it's time to let it go loose
Won't you just move on?

And let me write a song like all the songs I love to listen to
Writing 'cause I'm healing, never writing songs to hurt you
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
I'd sure make a movie before plannin' on somethin' to say

I turned off the TV and I laid in my bed
Sat and thought blissfully listening to Elliott
Writing songs, he did the same about situations
Would've been just the same, you had to make it obvious
Oh, come on, man

Just let me write a song like all the songs I love to listen to
Writing 'cause I'm healing, never writing songs to hurt you
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
I'd sure make a movie before plannin' on somethin' to say

And you messed up
All by yourself
And I sat right here, secretly tried to help
And I did my best
And you'd never know
'Cause your satisfaction's for you just to gloat
And it was my song
Oh, just a song
You made it worse just by singing along
Just keep busy
Oh, and make a movie
And I'll stick to writing my songs

Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
Getting tired don't want to speak
Oh, please let me go to sleep
