Lyrics
[Intro]
If you could hear the thoughts inside my head (Would you believe it?)
It ain’t even fair
And take that off soon as I land
There ain’t nothing you need to wear
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m in a race with time to get where I belong
‘Cause it feels so right after all these nights alone
Dreaming about, touching down
I can’t sleep ’til you touch me, baby, when?
Can you make it feel good before I leave again?
[Chorus]
I’ll pack and ship myself
If I have to, I’ll drive this ship myself (All night)
If I have to, you can’t be by yourself (Alone)
If you don’t have to, I’ll do what I have to
So you won’t have to
I’ll pack and ship myself (Oh)
If I have to, I’ll drive this ship myself (All night)
If I have to, you can’t be yourself (Alone)
If you don’t have to, I’ll do what I have to
So you won’t have to
[Bridge]
Uh, yeah, I’ll go so far as to put myself inside my
Goyard if I have to (Would you believe it?)
I’m in love, you in love (Help), I’m above, you my drug
You my plug through the storm, through the flood, I’ma rush
I’ll go so far as to put myself inside my
Goyard if I had to (Would you believe it?)
I’m in love, you in love, I’m above, you my drug
You my plug through the storm, through the flood, I’ma rush
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m in a race with time to get where I belong
‘Cause it feels so right after all these nights alone
Dreaming about touching down
I can’t sleep ’til you touch me, baby, when?
Can you make it feel good before I leave again?
[Chorus]
I’ll pack and ship myself
If I have to, I’ll drive this ship myself (All night)
If I have to, you can’t be by yourself (Alone)
If you don’t have to, I’ll do what I have to
So you won’t have to
I’ll pack and ship myself (I’ll go so far as to put myself inside my)
If I have to, I’ll drive this ship myself (Goyard if I had to)
If I have to, you can’t be by yourself (I’ll go so far, as to put myself inside my)
If you don’t have to, I’ll do what I have to (Goyard if I had to)
So you won’t have to
