HOV

I know we coulda had it all
I wasn’t ready to go steady, no, not at all
Smoke in mirrors cloudin’ my vision, we hit a wall
Couldn’t see the moon and the sky behind the fall
Pregnant pause
Damn, your baby tall, whatchu been up to?
I don’t blame you, my doll, yeah, we kinda stallin’
As God as my witness, time, it was my mistress
Guess it’s in the stars for me to love you from a distance
Uh, our ship sailed, uh, the wind blows
The door’s always open but our window is closed
You always thought “What if?” but that’ll just drive you crazy
Baby-girl interrupted, thinkin’ ’bout what wasn’t
Thinkin’ ’bout “What was it?” Was it somethin’ I done?
Somethin’ I could do better although nothin’ could be done?
Sometimes you get what you need, not what you think you want
So maybe no moon and sky, yet a beautiful son
Uh
