Lyrics

[Verse 1: Loyle Carner] I was sat up on the train, starin' out the window at the rain I heard this little lady must've felt the pain Ask her mum if the blazin' sun'll ever shine again I felt ashamed, feel the same, not her Mother though Nah, started to laugh, got her son involved Ah, mentioned the past like a runnin' joke and told her, 'without all the rain, there's no stunning growth' Close, ah, To everything and nothin' Picture past the honeymoon and bluffin' Where the wooden spoon is only cuffin' Shortened the discussion But the roots can't manoeuvre out of nothin' I've been sufferin' these dreamy days, uh Remedy and lust don't hold any memories of us Rather hold you everyday until the memories are dust Yo, we only caught the train 'cause you know I hate the bus Never get enough [Chorus: Jordan Rakei] Born and raised Made attempts to crawl away Find a way To exist and hide your face Some relate Leave everything in yesterday [Verse 2: Loyle Carner] (Aye) They ask about the bible I was readin' Told them that the title was misleading Labelled it Jerusalem but really it's for cookin' Middle-Eastern I could see her mind was changing With the seasons Shady for a reason Uh, day will start decreasing Leaving like the orange in the evenin' It was creepin' through the clouds But now I'm proud to see the images releasin' I just wish the little lady could've seen it, but she was dreaming (Ah) Reckon she's standin' with her mum saying to her 'Look, Mother here's the sun' Rooted in the moment 'til the memories are done, so I sit and start to wonder On the woman she'll become, wonder if I'll have a son or a daughter Ones that I brought up never strong, never tellin' me to run Never tryna find a sum Tryna get it done Yo, I wonder if she'd ever be as clever as her mum, one [Chorus: Jordan Rakei] Born and raised Made attempts to crawl away Find a way, to exist and hide your face some relate Leave everything in yesterday Born and raised Made attempts to crawl away Find a way To exist and hide your face Some relate Leave everything in yesterday [Outro: David Rawlins] Life can be bad, it can turn bad in a second So remember, what I'm tryna show you This life can be good one minute And next minute it can turn bad So don't look down on nobody 'cause that's how life can turn for everybody So remember it's love everybody And I'm gonna look for life, for my time Thank you
