Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been outta sight

I've been worried 'bout you lately

Runnin' outta time

Wishin' you would come and save me

[PreChorus]

'Cause I don't wanna roll with it (Yeah, yeah)

Tryna get control of it (Yeah, yeah)

Why can't I let go of it? (Yeah, yeah, mmm)

Gotta find somebody quickly (Mmm, yeah)

[Chorus]

I got a bad idea

How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?

I got a bad idea

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)

Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I know we shouldn't, baby, but we will (But we will)

Need somebody, give me something I can feel

But, boy, don't trip (Don't trip)

You know this isn't real

You should know I'm temporary

[PreChorus]

'Cause I don't wanna roll with it (Yeah, yeah)

Tryna get control of it (Yeah, yeah)

Why can't I let go of it? (Yeah, yeah, mmm)

Gotta find somebody quickly, yeah

[Chorus]

I got a bad idea

How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?

I got a bad idea

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)

Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me

[Bridge]

Gotta get control of it

Why can't I let go of it? Mmm

Wishin' you would come and save me

Mmm-yeah

Uh-huh, yeah

Ooh

Ooh

[Chorus]

I got a bad idea

How 'bout we take a little bit of time away? (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)

Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain (Ari-Chan)

I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me (Ari-Chan)

[Outro]

Yeah (Uh-huh)

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me (Ari-Chan)

Uh-huh

Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah

Forget about me
