Vines (Interlude) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't mean to talk about my personal business but I'mma have to put it out there
You been putting me in boxes and I don't really feel comfortable feeling tight like this
I feel stifled, and I feel like a seed that can't grow
This water is the only antidote
So, won't you come on over, free me from these animals?
I need you to be the love that I'm searching for
Take your time, expand my mind
Be the water comin' down my vines
Down my vines, down my vines

[Chorus]
Baby, lay it down
Baby, lay it down, baby, lay it down
Baby, lay it down (Down, down, down)
Water fallin' down, wa-water fallin' down
Baby, lay it down (Down, down, down, down)
Lay your water down, lay that water down
Baby, lay it down (Down, down, down, down)

[Verse 2]
I refuse to think I'm gonna walk this Earth alone, no
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
So, I'mma put it out there and let the chips fall where they may
'Cause I'm too dope to walk this Earth lonely
I wanna find somewhere that's safe
So, let me lay under you, babe
[Chorus]
Baby, lay it down, baby, lay it down
Baby, lay it down (Down, down, down)
Water fallin' down, water fallin' down
Baby, lay it down (Down, down, down, down)
Lay your water down, lay that water down
Baby, lay it down (Down, down, down, down)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
