Ya Minko - Foreign Tales lyrics

How you doing? How's your day been going?
How are things going?
I don't man, it's the same shit
Different day

I'm really glad you're here though
Thanks for coming hum, and listen

Truth is, I got scared when I saw you
Caught in the moment reconsidered
The nature of things
Distracted by your beauty and
Wondering if it's real
My hasty desires couldn't keep
Up with my fascination
And my mind is racing

Erasing every instance of
Sexually rogue intentions
I wanna feel your presence
I want to know your emotions
I want to kiss your lips in ways
You'll know this time it's different
I don't want a vacation
I want lifetimes of vacations with you

On private islands where they won't find us
Palm trees will sing your names
While I digest your private juices
Pardon my language I barely speak it myself
I look at you with affection
And in silence I process

The fact that maybe the physical
Is limited after all
Cause the way I want you makes me
Want to fuck you with my soul
& I know I sound intense
But reality's kind of dull
I wanna paint the sky with your
Smile and understand your thoughts

Look i'm too young not to be
Reckless but you terrify me
In the way holding a million
Dollars must be terrifying
In the way knowing the last
4 digit's of nuclear codes
That could erase the world
Has to be terrifying fascinating
The way you smile makes me
Wanna better the word outside
So you never have to ever
Worry about your life
Or worry about your kind wanting
To rob of your shine
I feel like keeping an eye
Out for you, you're it
& that's without doubt

I don't have a much else to offer but myself
& I guess I could promise you better days
But really I just want you here everyday
So I can love you in ways
You'll never wanna leave again
And if ever you leave again
Just make sure you come back the same

With your worries and your pain so
I can get'em off your back your enemies
Gimme names so I can get'em off you back
With your dreams
Show me your dreams and I'll make
Sure we stay on track one day at a time
Until the world can see your light like I do

This ain't just about what happened recently
I saw beauty in your spirit a long
Time ago it stuck with me
My life is chaotic I'd hate to
See you get caught in it
I know where I'm going but it's a
Journey that is filled with risks

Meaning caring is terrifying
I got hurt badly
By people who took advantage of my
Will to see them happy then forgot about me
Threw dirt on my name and lied about me
Then hugged me and public cause they knew
They would be lost without me
Truth is I'm very unhappy
I've been depressed lately
& it won't go away
It haunts me so I barely sleep
A couple hours in your presence I forgot
How much I hated being alone these days
Especially, late at night

If you understand how I feel you
Must be who I'm talking about
& I say those words with no pressure
It's been heavy on my mind
I'm expressing those words on records cause
Regular talk feels foreign to me

What better way to tell the
Tale of your foreign beauty?

& That's the whole story
You got hurt badly, I got hurt badly
You a little baddy, with a Badu a body
I've been bad lately
& clearly more than a little a clumsy
Give it time really
This probably happened already
Very authentic, the energy of an angel
You fascinate me in ways that
I could only describe
Through dedicated action
Consistent attention and abundant pleasure
In ways you'll remember that
I'll remember you forever
Hold my hand, & I won't the truth from you
There is always more where good is home
