Jamila Woods - Boundaries Lyrics

Can't get over you if I tried
You can't come over, no, not tonight
Rather lay with you in my mind
In my dreams, we never fight
I'm finding peace when I'm alone
I don't believe the stories told
These walls are built with time and stone
I'm in control

I keep you on the outside
From far enough away you seem pristine
There'll never be a downside
I'd hate to find a reason I should leave
If I let you come inside
You'll track in all the mud I'm bound to see
It's safer on the outside
I'd hate to find a reason I should I leave

How are you? Come with me
Never mind what you see
Who are you? Shiny things
Collard greens, dopamine
Ain't no strings holding me
Can you sing carefully?
Is it love in between
You and me?

I'm finding peace when I'm alone
I don't believe the stories told
These walls are built with time and stone
I'm in control

I keep you on the outside
From far enough away, you seem pristine
There'll never be a downside
I'd hate to find a reason I should leave
If I let you come inside
You'll track in all the mud I'm bound to see
It's safer on the outside
I'd hate to find a reason I should leave

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
I keep you on the outside
From far enough away, you seem pristine
There'll never be a downside
I'd hate to find a reason I should leave
If I let you come inside
You'll track in all the mud I'm bound to see
It's safer on the outside
I'd hate to find a reason I should leave

Boundaries, boundaries
Boundaries, boundaries
