Out on the Weekend (Lyric Video) - Joy Oladokun

Think I'll pack it in and buy a pick-up Take it down to L.A. Find a place to call my own and try to fix up Start a brand new day The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up But I'm so down today She's so fine, she's in my mind I hear her callin' See the lonely boy out on the weekend Trying to make it pay Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and Can't begin to say She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up From her big brass bed Now I'm running down the road, trying to stay up Somewhere in her head The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up But I'm so down today She's so fine she's in my mind I hear her callin' See the lonely boy, out on the weekend Trying to make it pay Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and Can't begin to say

I'm holding out When I pass your house I'm waiting on the weekend I'm waiting on the weekend I contemplate the words To make you feel safe and sound Waiting on the weekend I'm waiting on the weekend Will we ever meet again? Will you be stood waiting, right for your train? Tomorrow, waiting on the weekend Are you waiting on the weekend? Waiting on the weekend I spend four days messin' 'round in my head Could she be my lover or is this pretend? Till then I'm waiting on the weekend I'm waiting on the weekend Waiting on the weekend She always looks so sad, and I don't know why And all I wanna do is ask But I just walk by, by So maybe on the weekend Maybe we could speak then I'm waiting on the weekend now

When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime Couldn't help it, felt like velvet Psychedelic, sex angelic That's how I li-li-like it When we colli-li-lided We keep it open-minded, excited Fallin' into you Always somewhere in-between Don't wanna step off this dream Fallin' into you Feelin' like I've seen these signs Like somewhere in a past life When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime Don't need a reason to dive in my deep end Somethin' to believe in, found God on the weekend When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime Don't need a reason to dive in my deep end Somethin' to believe in, found God on the weekend Ooh, ooh Found God on the weekend Ooh, ooh Found God on the weekend Tunnel vision, slow collision Touch me, listen, close the distance That's how I li-li-like it Spark it and li-li-light it We keep it open-minded, excited Fallin' into you Always somewhere in-between Don't wanna step off this dream Fallin' into you Feelin' like I've seen these signs Like somewhere in a past life When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime Don't need a reason to dive in my deep end Somethin' to believe in, found God on the weekend When was the last time, did somethin' for the first time? 'Cause I need a good night to last for a lifetime Don't need a reason to dive in my deep end Somethin' to believe in, found God on the weekend Ooh, ooh Found God on the weekend Ooh, ooh Found God on the weekend

They drowned me in the Jordan Then they tried to wash me clean They got the stains out But now it's too damn hard to breathe They told me he's a good Lord As they tied the shackles to my feet They drowned me in the Jordan And then they walked away from me I washed up on the shores alone In a tattered wedding gown Disillusioned and hardened Everything I'd known had let me down, down, down That is where you found me Grace and whisky on your breath You pulled me back on my feet And taught me how to dance again Now we're building our own promised land On this new ground we stand God bless the work of our hands And make good on our plans 'Cause now I've found love There's no turning back Oh-oh-oh-oh I don't feel so young now Gave the best years of my life away I tried to build an institution Instead of tryna keep the faith If you'd been the one You loved me though I was not lovely or deserving You kissed the curse from my lips And taught them to rejoice again Now we're building our own promised land On this new ground we stand God bless the work of our hands And make good on our plans 'Cause now I've found love There's no turning back Now I've found love There's no turning back

Yesterday I left my join sitting on the counter Forgot to put it out Yeah, forgot these things have power Yeah it burned a hole right through Like all the years you can't undo These days the air in my lungs has gotten thicker But I breathe a little light when I'm with her The battle in my head is overdue She says, "The only way round is through" All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of the embers settling down Making way for fertile ground All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke Sometimes I get jealous of Jesus for falling sleep In the middle of the storm Sometimes you gotta feel like drowning to be reborn Oh, I haven't slept in three days I know I've got to find my way All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of the embers settling down Making way for fertile ground All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke I know I'm gonna see the light The smoke will clear out from my eyes And I know I'm gonna see all of this embers settling down Making way for fertile ground All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke

Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone Shoulda known that you were wrong for me Wrong for me, wrong Now that I'm sober my temperature's a little colder I see it clearly now, I only fell for you 'Cause I was young, dumb and broken I hate being sober My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely I put my body and my soul through hell for you Why does it hurt that it's over? I've been drunk for three years and fifteen days All that perfume that you wear And that good look on your face I ignored all my worst fears And now this liquor won't chase The thought of you from my head My mouth still stings from the taste of it Now that I'm sober my temperature's a little colder I see it clearly now, I only fell for you 'Cause I was young, dumb and broken I hate being sober My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely I put my body and my soul through hell for you Why does it hurt that it's over? Don't know why I'm still crying It's not like you're wide awake Why am I tossing back whiskey? I should be popping champagne And I would swallow my pride 'cause I know what I gvave Why should I poison myself to try and fix your mistakes? Now that I'm sober my temperature's a little colder I see it clearly now, I only fell for you 'Cause I was young, dumb and broken I hate being sober My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely I put my body and my soul through hell for you Why does it hurt that it's over? (Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone Shoulda known that you were wrong for me Wrong for me, wrong Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone Shoulda known that you were wrong for me Wrong for me, wrong) Now that I'm sober my temperature's a little colder I see it clearly now, I only fell for you 'Cause I was young, dumb and broken I hate being sober My hands are shaking and the nights are lonely I put my body and my soul through hell for you Why does it hurt that it's over? (Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone Shoulda known that you were wrong for me Wrong for me, wrong Gone, guess that good old feeling's gone Shoulda known that you were wrong for me Wrong for me, wrong)
