1. Lirik lagu Call It Off
Again
I had to call it off again
Again
Guess we're better off as friends
Wait, give me space
I said boy get out my face
It's ok, you can't relate
Yeah, had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
It's like you tongue tied, tied, tied
And you act out of your mind
Cause your vision of us
Shattered right in front of your eyes
Speak your truth, don't hold back
Long as it ain't behind my back
I know it's hard being sincere
When it feels like it's all bad
Just smile, the world is watching
They seem so concerned
But they can't tell me nothing
I might just let it burn
You lost that fire for me
I know I let you go
Still at the same old place
I'm just a call away
Again
I had to call it off again
Again
Guess we better off as friends
Wait, give me space
I said boy get out my face
It's ok, you can't relate
Yeah, had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
You've been on my mind, this a kind reminder to let you know
If I compromised, would you press rewind and just take it slow?
I couldn't count the times, how many times did we lose control?
Maybe this time we'll be cautious, just tell me it's alright
My hearts getting heavy
Your attitudes cold but I like when you check me
I'm keen for your loving
And every time you trip it just happens in public
Girl you have this habit where you call me out my name
It's like you're the final boss and I'm just tryna beat these games
Again
I had to call it off again
Again
Guess we better off as friends
Wait, give me spac
I said boy get out my face
It's ok, you can't relate
Yeah, had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again
Had to call it off again

Dari situ, mereka memutuskan untuk kembali bekerja sama di lagu "Call It Off."

Rasanya menyenangkan sekali dapat kenal dengan seseorang yang tinggal di bagian lain bumi, tapi terinspirasi oleh banyak hal yang sama denganku.
