[Intro: J. Cole]

Rollin' around in Lincoln Town Cars, on our way to the spot

Passin' the bottle, wishin' I found a way to make time stop

Intoxicated, ridin' with gangsters with they hammers on cocked

Infatuated 'cause I know deep down that they everything that I'm not

[Verse 1: J. Cole]

I know you got a lot of demons cloggin' up your past

I can do some cleanin' up for you, but I know we won't last

Pass the Winter time 'cause Summer's comin' and a n**ga tryin' to hit a dime or two

But come next Fall, I'm findin' you and we can do it all again

My n**gas call it legacy

I fear that the best days I've had are not ahead of me

And 'cause of that, I'm searchin' for the one that got away from me

So busy looking back that I can't see what God has made for mе

[Chorus: J. Cole]

And I be texting you, texting you

I'm tryna find thе one who got away from me

Yeah, I'm still texting you, texting you (Hey)

I'm tryna find the one who got away

[Verse 2: J. Cole]

Commitment issues, I can't even decide what's for dinner

Pardon these selfish flows, I need a Yelp for hoes

I need to read reviews 'cause some of the evil I see you do is unbelievable

Menopause sh*t, inconceivable

Tennis ball sh*t, 'causin' that racket outside my momma house

What's it all about?

Guess it's a thin line between love and hate

The love we make is temporary like this lovely place I'm livin' in

Wait, that's contemporary, never mind I'm trippin-in'

But then again, it's hard to settle in this modern era

We could be as tight as that dress you barely fittin' in

But my fear of missin' out has got me on a trip again

Ride up to that A-Town, that A-Town

Tour bus, no Greyhound

My lust is profound

Your trust, just pray sound

Your heart don't glue back quite right

My heart is too black like white flight

That push them people to the suburbs, now they want they city back

So they raised the rent and the property tax

Why I feel like in a few years I'll relate to that?

Knowin' that I let you go and regrettin' that fact

'Cause I done spent so long playin' games and holdin' back

From givin' all of me, too scared that I won't get it back

And yes, I'm well aware I rhymed the word "back" with "back"

'Cause that's exactly the direction that I'm tired of lookin' at

And that's why I be

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Texting you, texting you

I'm tryna find the one who got away from me

Texting you, texting you (Hey)

I'm tryna find the one who got away (Yeah)

[Verse 3: J. Cole]

Rollin' around in Lincoln Town Cars on our way to the stop

Passin' the bottle, wishin' I found a way to make time stop

Intoxicated, ridin' with gangsters with they hammers on cocked

I'm infatuated 'cause I know deep down that they everything that I'm not

And I'm still texting you, texting you (Girl, just hit me back when you get to your spot, no time for no arguing)

And I be texting you, texting you

Call me when you wanna fly, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell you all the reasons why, yeah, yeah, yeah

Youngins turnin' old, yeah, yeah, yeah

Summer's turnin' into snow, yeah, yeah, yeah

Memories and lullabies, yeah, yeah, yeah

Floatin' in the lonely sky, yeah, yeah, yeah

When the weather's gettin' cold, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're the one I wanna hold, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro: PJ]

Even back then, we knew what road to choose

It's been so much time and it's that much more to lose

Even back then, we knew what road to choose

It's been so much time and there's that much more to lose
