Lyrical Analysis of...
NF
- [Verse 1]
- I just need some time; I'm tryna think straight
- I just need a moment in my own space
- Ask me how I'm doin', I say "okay," yeah
- But ain't that what we all say?
- Sometimes I think back to the old days
- In the pointless conversations with the old me
- Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me
- I wish somebody woulda told me
- [Chorus]
- If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
- If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
- If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
- If you want love, if you want love
- [Verse 2]
- Yeah, as a kid I used to think life
- Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
- Look out the window on my bus ride
- I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
- I've always tried to control things
- In the end that's what controls me
- Maybe that's why I'm controllin'
- I wish somebody woulda told me
- [Chorus]
- If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
- If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
- If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
- If you want love, if you want love
- [Verse 3]
- The older I get, I feel like I'm always tryna save time
- Talkin' to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
- Tellin' me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right
- I'm scared that one day I'll wake up and wonder where'd the time go
- Talk about the past like it's the present while I rock slow
- I'll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
- And tell 'em
- [Chorus]
- If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
- I wish you woulda told me
- If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
- I wish somebody woulda told me
- If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
- You gon' have to give
- If you want love, if you want love
- If you want love, if you want love
