letra de i choose you - jp reynolds

i’m officially off the market
my apologies for gushing
you gon’ have to bear with me
for this topic of discussion
i know i’m dark skinned
but this about to have me blushing
this girl hit me hard, it’s like i suffered
a concussion

we took a pic after the game
i was still in my pads
my team had just won the championship
we was amped on that
i saw her later that night, i remember in my head
i said, “i think i like her, i think i should take a stab.”

so over thanksgiving break i finally built up the nerve
to break up with my high school girl
see if this thing could swerve
i had her number, we had grown to be friends
and i knew we had a spark
i had enough of pretend
so i dialed a number that had a foreign area code
an unfamiliar voice answered, i’m thinking:
“they playing, yo.”
but still
“h-llo, my name is rodney. is naomi there?”
the voice said my name back
reacted like they know me there
oddly enough, that gave me confidence to speak
naomi came to the phone
that confidence had peaked
i said, “i think i’m feeling you. are you feeling me?”
she said, “we should remain friends”
confidence recedes

but i was young and full of pride
she must ain’t know my resume
what’s up?
i ain’t bout to get rejected
plus a couple ladies crushed
so we went our separate ways
acted like it wasn’t strange
flirted undercover, we ain’t want no suspicions to raise

we started a movie club to see each other low
argued about the love jones plot
but we really know
we was bickering about our predicament unspoke
might’ve been different if my position was shifting more like yours

but i was stubborn, hardheaded, and convinced i was content there
what really happened was i got stuck inside a tent there
told myself it was romantic until that night that we danced
and then i got to thinking:
“what would happen if we chanced advancing?”

(ohhhhh, i choose you.)

but then i shut that down
with a facebook status
it was cryptic, but you got it
so we forth and backed it
i attached you backwards to a tactic
rather drastic
you reacted with an action
can’t be captured in a caption
you had fashioned that any fraction of our future was fractured
i imagined that the factor was my vantage
that was tragic

i ain’t see you on campus
we ain’t speak for a semester
then we had that junior seminar
which changed our whole direction
we got closer, squashed the squabble
you got open to affections
but this time i was the one
who was causing all the rebellions

but we still took steps thinking, this time we could be on
on the phone like every night, sometimes til’ 3 in the morn
the summer ’09
we were both sitting on thrones
we decided to take a shot – lebron in the zone

(i choose you, baby.)

that’s what we both said
it was my best year in college without a question
now let this track build

(i choose you, baby.)

at the beginning it was crazy
but we weathered all them storms
arguments in my apartment
disagreements in your dorm
i said, “girl, just let me love you”
but you only gave me ice
you messed up, then i messed up
i acted out of spite

and somehow out of the cycle we found
forgiveness was true
so we tracked it back and recommitted
everything anew

(3x)
could’ve chose pride, but we decided to do
the impossible
you chose me, i chose you
