Lyrics

[Chorus]

Fell in love through a photograph

I don't even know your name

Wonder if you'd follow back

I hope to see you one day

I won't show my **** now

I'll keep this one for myself

Love today's gone digital

And it's messing with my health

[Verse 1]

Yeah, damn, I love your sense of humor

You don't get caught up in rumors

You don't be talking 'bout who fuckin' who

And I notice the way you maneuver

Sexy, but never show too much

Ain't heard from you in like two months

All of a sudden, you pop on my line

You could make time stop on a dime

I think you mastered the art of sublime

Your type is harder to find

You could turn water to wine, yeah

You could turn water to wine, yeah

I think you mastered the art of sublime

Your type is harder to find

You could turn water to wine, yeah

You could turn water to wine, feel me

[Verse 2]

**** be talkin' so slick (Ugh)

I'm not the **** for lip (Yeah)

Puttin' my heart in the click (Yeah)

Can't see my heart, it don't fit (Yeah)

Don't think I'm built for this shit (Yeah)

Too busy thinking what if (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Yeah)

**** be talkin' so slick (Yeah)

I'm not the **** for lip (Yeah)

Puttin' my heart in the click (Yeah)

Can't see my heart, it don't fit (Yeah)

Don't think I'm built for this shit (Yeah)

Too busy thinking what if (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Mm)

[Chorus]

Fell in love through a photograph

I don't even know your name

Wonder if you'd follow back

I hope to see you one day

I won't show my **** now

I'll keep this one for myself

Love today's gone digital

And it's messing with my health

[Verse 3]

Yeah, feel like I gotta say somethin'

Thought of you got my heart jumpin'

But I can't come up with nothin', no

But I can't come up with nothin'

I put it off for a day

I come back around your way

Searching for what I could say

They accurately could convey

The way that I feel in a word

That's different than what you done heard

So many done hit you with game

So many been sent to the curb

And I did not come here to play

And I did not come to observe

And I did not come here to play

But I did not come to observe

Feel me

[Verse 4]

**** be talkin' so slick (Ugh)

I'm not the **** for lip (Yeah)

Puttin' my heart in the click (Yeah)

Can't see my heart, it don't fit (Yeah)

Don't think I'm built for this shit (Yeah)

Too busy thinking what if (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Yeah)

**** be talkin' so slick (Yeah)

I'm not the **** for lip (Yeah)

Puttin' my heart in the click (Yeah)

Can't see my heart, it don't fit (Yeah)

Don't think I'm built for this shit (Yeah)

Too busy thinking what if (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Yeah)

I shoot my shot and it brick (Mm)

[Chorus]
