See Me Now

[Intro] "I just want you to know how sorry we are That things got so fucked up with us and.. We got into this thing with the best intentions, really." [Bridge] Yeah, alright On the brink pourin' drinks into my new cup Only time will tell, before my time is up But one would be nice, so I don't stay inside too much The confines of my mind can't find true love [Verse One] Still I walk around these low lit lanes like you don't miss Scared of the open road, I lose focus Crowd of a thousand eyes, I'm tryna' to get you to notice Some would say it's hopeless Somedays I psych myself up to call my dad Never had someone I could call my dad I ain't even have a home phone in the pad I called on myself when all turned bad Fame gave me the start and still I pay homage Imagine if he never called that radio office And I'm a writer, open mic - a train hopper Find solace in the cloak of night, like grave robbers [Hook] And I'm off to a few, get invited High by the clouds with a view with the lightning Every time we fight you tell me I'm just like 'em Listen wit' ya heart, baby close both eyes Can you see me now? Yeah Can you see me now? Your welcome, one day Can you see me now? (X2) Listen with your heart baby, close both eyes, can you see me now? [Verse Two] Do you remember me? Still here where I left ya Can't seem to switch direction Always seem to come up short Even though we had the best intentions White knuckles from the fist she's clenching Telling me she heard enough If you don't like the answers that I got for ya Well maybe you should ask different questions I heard they fell out wit' they label No radio play, been unstable Maybe wit' they time been wasteful Let me break it down kid, get a plateful Nick and Jimmy, them kids from the Syndicate We bringing it back for the faithful No rhyme could capture how grateful But you can this tape, tape get a face-full [Bridge] Still I show no signs of relenting Plus I got no time for repenting Maybe its destined Shit I'm a couple years shy of an intervention Yeah Set it off like riots in detention Cigarette lighter to the bed springs Now that I got your attention Live from the insurrection [Hook] Can you see me now? (X2) One day Can you see me now? Listen with your heart, baby close both eyes, can you see me now? [Outro] "Please, continue You were saying something about best intentions? What's the matter? Oh you were finished? Oh, well allow me to retort."
