Lyrics:

Track 8 on N.E.R.D.’s In Search Of… (2002)
Before you go...
I wanna talk to you...

Thinking about the time we shared
And how I wasn't there
It hurt me
These people overwork me
Then I heard maybe, soon you'll leave
Excuse me, Lord, if you have tricks up your sleeve
I'm not ready to be bereaved
I know I'm always asking for something, or another
But this time, it's just time
'Cause I love her (I just love her)
But, baby, if he don't change his mind
Or fate, or time
Yo... I want to leave you with this line

It goes – while you're here
I want to tell you something
It's that I love you, girl
And –
And I wish we could run
To the sun (Let's go...)
And never come back
Yeah

Yesterday, I tied two rocks together
To symbolize our lives
And threw them – in the ocean
Now they're on the ocean floor coastin'
'Til they stop rollin' – so far
That no sonar would list them (They won't see...)
To the point that no one would even believe that we existed
I know that may sound twisted
But my neglect is killin' me
I feel so guilty
Please, have faith if you feel me

It goes – while you're here (Come on...)
I want to tell you something
It's that I love you, girl
And –
And I wish we could run
To the sun (And never come back...)
And never come back (Never...)
Yeah
It goes – while you're here (Let's go together)
I want to tell you something (Let go forever)
It's that I love you, girl
And –
And I wish we could run (Let's go together)
To the sun (Let go forever)
And never come back
Yeah

Though you probably feelin' blue
And you'll do what you must do
I hope you know –
I'd hand the skies to you
I'm so embarrassed for mankind
They have the nerve to let their weapon shine
(They're so stupid...)
Do they not know you're about to fly high?
Away
With the wings that God will give you someday
I'm not jealous (No)
I just can't take it (So hard on me...)
S.O.S. to your ears
The only thing I ever feared
Was this day
And, having to say –

It goes – while you're here
I want to tell you something (Girl...)
It's that I love you, girl
And –
And I wish we could run (Let's go...)
To the sun
And never come back
Yeah

It goes – while you're here (Let's go together)
I want to tell you something (Let go forever)
It's that I love you, girl (Forever)
And – (And forever)
And I wish we could run (Let's go together)
To the sun (Let's go forever)
And never come back (Forever)
Yeah (And forever)
It goes – while you're here (Let's go together)
I want to tell you something (Let go forever)
It's that I love you, girl (Forever)
And – (And forever)
And I wish we could run (Let's go together)
To the sun (Let's go forever)
And never come back (Forever)
Yeah (And forever)
It goes – while you're here
I want to tell you something (I love you...)
It's that I love you, girl
And –
And I wish we could run
To the sun
And never come back
Yeah
It goes – while you're here
I want to tell you something (I'm here for you...)
It's that I love you, girl
And –
And I wish we could...
