Loose Ends Lyrics

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Enough when the going is tough
I wait 'til it falls on deaf ears
Hearsay without the boundaries of love
My take is I wish there was a better way

[Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner & Jorja Smith]
Ayy, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way)
A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way)
Friends beckon every second you spend (Way)
When wettin' the pen, every letter you send
Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way)
A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way)
Friends beckon every second you spend (Way)
When wettin' the pen, every letter you send

[Verse 1: Loyle Carner]
Yo, I been listening to "Dreamy Days", I'm in disarray
I realise it's everybody else who's still astray
I feel ashamed, I know there ain't no savin' away
They went astray, I went Australia
So what I'm supposed to say to 'em?
Uh, when all this love's out of range
Everything around me changed, I'm supposed to stay the same
Turn down these free drinks I couldn't even name
And act like all this money isn't f*ckin' up my brain
I been goin' insane, shelf full of family remains
Brokenhearted, seein' none of 'em again, uh
I pour the glass, stick my head out in the rain
Try and find another person I can blame
Sat upon this plane, uh
And, yo, I'm prayin' that we don't crash
'Cause every night, I shiver at the sight when we go back
'Cause every night could be my last, and, yeah, I know that
So I crack a smile 'fore it goes black, trust

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Enough when the going is tough
I wait 'til it falls on deaf ears
Hearsay without the boundaries of love
My take is I wish there was a better way

[Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner & Jorja Smith]
Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way)
A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way)
Friends beckon every second you spend (Way)
When wettin' the pen, every letter you send
Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way)
A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way)
Friends beckon every second you spend (Way)
When wettin' the pen, every letter you send

[Verse 2: Loyle Carne & Jorja Smith]
Trust, I, I wish you'd been there when my dad had died
I, I wish you'd been there when my mother cried I, I wish you'd been there in the drag of night
To see my side, look me in my eyes when I was paralysed (Yeah, ooh, yeah)
And tell me everything's alright and push it to the side
It's just a sacrifice, at times, I told a bag of lies
But not a pack of lies, we always told a couple ones
Of course it was true, you only knew me from the dramatise
I feel an agonising risk 'cause in a thousand islands
This is where I really wanna be when we were cracking wise (Yeah)
'Cause it was black and white, literally black and white
White from my mother and my father was the blackest skies
Skies, I, I can see it's true
I, I see my mother up in you
Shit, I think my dad'd see it too
Yo, I just wish he knew, uh (Oh)

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Enough when the going is tough
I wait 'til it falls on deaf ears
Hearsay without the boundaries of love
My take is I wish there was a better way

[Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner & Jorja Smith]
Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way)
A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way)
Friends beckon every second you spend (Way)
When wettin' the pen, every letter you send
Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way)
A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way)
Friends beckon every second you spend (Way)
When wettin' the pen, every letter you send

[Verse 3: Loyle Carne & Jorja Smith]
Uh, imagine all the friends you see most
Each one you're payin' a wage
Dependant on you puttin' pen to the page, uh (Mmm)
And so you break it down, checking they're paid
Another day your heart breakin', you resented the stage
You feel that same rage
Watch the crowd, watch the stage thinkin', "Shit" (Oh yeah)
Rather in the crowd with your mates drinkin'
Misbehaviours, catch another dame winkin' (Oh)
You feel ashamed, guzzle Jagers, your brain's sinkin'
You think it's deep down, think it's depression (Yeah)
A misspent adolescence
But all this time, all this time, time's of the essence
You would never learn from your lessons
You're stuck in that same quintessence
Heartbreak, one in the same (Mmm)
Days change, but you're stuck in the game
It's like she's tellin' you you're young enough to be at uni
Somehow the one who sees through me, uh
