Another Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be right by your side
Can’t risk perfection, love is timeless
Don’t wanna throw and wait in line
I know you’re not the strange kind

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t wanna make him nervous
Don’t wanna break the surface
I’ll be as I come in mornings, baby
Don’t wanna make him nervous
Did I let you know
You got control on me, baby?

[Chorus]
In another life
I know we could ride out, boy
If the time is right
I know we could ride out, boy
In another life
I know we could ride, baby, let me ride
Won’t you love me right out, boy?
In another life

[Verse 2]
I’m tryna be the one you play with
Not tryna be the one that stays up
Done tryna be your favorite
Done tryin’ to fix your template

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna be (Be) just a shell of me (Me)
Just another thing (Thing) in your gallery (‘Ry)
I was dumber then (Then), we were young and free (Free)
Flakin’ all my friends (Friends), let you fuck on me (Me)
All night long (‘Til I forget)
Who I was (Lovin’ me, lovin’ me)
‘Til I’m lost (I can recover now)
Self-respect? (I’d rather die)

[Chorus]
In another life
I know we could ride out, boy
If the time is right
I know we could ride out, boy
In another life
I know we could ride, baby, let me ride
Won’t you love me right out, boy?
In another life

[Outro]
In another lifetime, boy
I know we both would be too right
If the stars align now, boy
I know God gon’ let us ride
If the time is right, oh, we’ll start tonight
Oh, just let me ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, oh
Promise you won’t forget me, oh
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, oh
(Promise you won’t forget me, oh)
(Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, oh)
Promise you’ll let me ride
Ride, ride, ride, oh
Coming back for you to ride
Know you gone, but I’m gon’ chase you
Don’t get high, I’ll just take and ride
Coming back for us in carriage
I don’t care who you marry
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Maybe in another life
