letra de past tense - emilie azalea

verse 1:

it’s with an open heart and heavy hands that i write this
or did i f-ck up my words again? well, that’s to be expected
heard you was expectin’, so congratulations are in order
remember when you worked your -ss off but couldn’t afford a crib or four door

that’s in the past tense now but it seems i can’t move forward
got these demons on my back, hungry to prey on me like some vultures
clear minds breed clear thoughts but my mind’s a mess and body sober
put the pen to the paper, cus it’s the closest thing i’ll get to closure

if i remember clearly, it was firstly me in her position
opened up a savings, filed a registry, booked the physician
quit wasting money, thought practically, prepped for the transition
made the perfect family, but blessed to receive the new addition

anything could happen; all it takes is the blink of an eye
we’d be waitin’ on forever waitin’ for the perfect time
spent our youth growin’ up and our adult life tryna fly
spent my first half tryna cope and my second tryna make it rhyme

chorus:

we only understand life in the past tense
tryin’ to comprehend in the only way that makes sense

verse 2:

if you love her like i’m sure you do, i’m sure she’ll be just great
maybe with time, the wounds have healed and granted you a fresh slate
don’t hear too much about you now; know you’ve got a lot up on your plate
guess i should’ve known better to think you’d sit around and wait

future’s not ours to see, created by an omniscient ent-ty
though our paths may cross at times, and our frequencies sing like a symphony
you can’t force fate where it don’t wanna be, can’t make lines where there ain’t symmetry
we were built with predispositions and the rest i guess is destiny

i find myself replayin’ scenes, wonder if the end justifies the means
hang onto little threads and seams, faded and torn just like my favorite jeans
can’t feel much now but go through the motions like were machines
i guess you can’t have a relationship that only exists inside your dreams

but i see shiloh there and i know he’s doin’ well
innocent souls don’t have to make the choice between heaven or h-ll
never made it to our plane; there’s a nicer runway where my baby dwells
he could never be replaced, only reborn, but that’s another story to tell

chorus

the only constant in life is the recognition that it changes
we worry too much about ourselves, our peers, and our exchanges
but if you take a step back, look outside yourself, there’s a bigger picture
you’ll know we came from the stars above, it’s made into our bones, it’s a mixture

all those different pills you take, they won’t make you healthy
just like all those chains you wear won’t help get you wealthy
i wish i knew what i do now back then when i was twenty
had the world in my hands but dropped it cus i was unsteady

we think too much bout how we present ourselves, how they perceive us
even as we sin day to day we still pray for jesus to receive us
nowadays the youth grows up rough, actin on l-st and sayin’ f-ck love
i’m telling you it’s time to move forward, what you have in front of you is more than enough

chorus
