Miscommunication

by Yung Nova

on Sopadelic (2016)

[Chorus: Will & Anthony]
Am I on your mind?
Late at night?
I lay awake, thinking what I could've said
But instead (But instead)
I lay here in fear (Oh I lay here)
You could be mine, oh why aren't you mine?

[Verse 1: Will]
Okay, maybe it's my own fault that I hardly take some action
Expecting to show some interest and hope for some attraction
But how can I not freeze up, when you're looking so elegant?
So I wrote this song hoping you would remember this
Uh, never mind that
Sometimes I feel like a doormat
Constantly helping with your problems
So you can grow up and shine
But you end up stepping all over me
It's good, at least you're fine
I rather take a couple licks
Then see you hurt from all of his tricks
All my friends are telling me that there are other fish in the sea
But how can I switch
If you're the only one that really completes me?
Either way it gets really old
Trying to figure out what girl will stick around
The pain will be the same
Yet it's slowly wielding me down
I got dreams to dream about
And other things to think about
My future, college
What wonderful things to think about
And yet you're a worry
I wonder if I cross your mind
Do we sit alone together
Have no worries just unwind?

[Chorus]
Am I on your mind?
Late at night?
I lay awake, thinking what I could've said
But instead (But instead)
I lay here in fear (Oh I lay here)
You could be mine, oh why aren't you mine?

[Verse 2: Anthony]
(Yeah)
Why aren't you mine, girl?
Why aren't mine?
You know I text you all the time
I need to cut this shit, rewind
I want us to have something like that Bobby and Jess shit
We can just be ourselves, we don't have to change a bit
(Yeah)
I'm always reminded I'm in competent by the voices in my head
Telling me, you can't even come close to her
All of my efforts are suppose to work
When I'm painting my canvas of life
Hoping you're in it
And that's my advice
And if you don't want any part of me
Then I hope this music is gonna suffice
My hands are shaking
Heart is breaking
Wondering where you are
You're a star sparkling in the night
And I'm just a boy gazing from a far
I'm underestimate
Shit is complicated
Maybe we can make
Baby I'm just waiting
For the moment that you open your eyes
And that I was here the whole fucking time

[Bridge: Anthony]
Damn
When will I take action, so you're mine?
Can our stars align
So I know that there's a sign?

[Chorus: Anthony]
Am I on your mind? (Am I on your mind, uh oh)
Late at night? (It's late at night)
I lay awake, thinking what I could've said
(With all these crazy thoughts going through my brain like)
But instead (But instead)
I lay here in fear (Oh I lay here)
You could be mine, well girl why aren't you mine?

[Verse 3: Maria-Elaina]
Maybe it's us
This is not enough
We tend to stray
Damn I wish you would stay
If I had the guts
To tell you how I feel
You could be mine
Baby why aren't you mine?

[Ending: Maria & Will]
Am I on your mind?
(Oh woah)
Late at night?
Just the two of us
All we need is trust
(Oh no)
I lay in fear
Oh why aren't you mine?
