Long legs gliding down the kitchen staircase,

Skirt swayin' slow, like it’s defying space. (Oh, she knows)

You don’t see me watching, but I’m right here,

Your words flowin’, tangled with her ear.

Your mouth’s goin’ ninety-one, slow down,

I’m at the table, steak filet mignon, crowned. (Stay composed)

Oh, you don’t see me, but I see it all,

Guess it’s been a while, huh? Didn’t think I’d call. (It’s been a while...)

She kisses you; you’ll never know where,

Playin’ life like no rules, just dares. (Dangerous, huh?)

And when you touch me, is it fire or ice?

Feels like we’re closer, feeding this vice.

We’re caught in this loop, always obsessing,

It’s all in my mind, and it keeps undressing. (Mm, too real)

Making love in the corners of my head,

You don’t see the fire, but it’s burning red.

Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that look,

The way it hooks me, gurl, I’m an open book.

(Gurl I’m an open book)

It’s been a while (Mm mm)

It’s been a while (Yeah, it’s been a while)

It’s been a while

(Feels so close, yet so far now)

It’s been a while, the room feels tight,

Every look you give cuts through the night. (Ooh, like that)

Your energy pulls, I can’t escape,

It’s been a while, and I’m caught in your shape. (Right there, like that)

(Yeah, it’s been a while, like)

Brown eyes locking, doing things unseen,

You’re the type, a class-four dream. (Dream state!)

Undressing moments, hope I play it right,

Rewindin’ words we said on that endless night.

Saw it on a video, thought it’d stay fiction,

Now it’s all tangled up in my addiction. (Caught up!)

My friends say you’re just a fever dream,

But the burn in my chest makes it feel extreme.

Yeah, they’re probably right, but I’ll play along,

‘Cause it’s been a while, and I’ve been writing this song.

Now you cross the room with your ugly truth,

Tellin’ me you miss me, and you hate the proof. (Say it louder)

You spill it all, now the crowd’s on pause,

Watchin’ me like I’m the final applause.

You sit back, trying to play it cool,

But I’m in the spotlight, boy, and you’re the fool. (Oh, now you see me!)

Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this game,

But tonight, it’s my turn; I’m flipping the frame.

It’s been a while (Mm mm)

It’s been a while (Yeah, it’s been a while)

It’s been a while

(Feels so close, yet so far now)

It’s been a while, the room feels tight,

Every look you give cuts through the night. (Ooh, like that)

Your energy pulls, I can’t escape,

It’s been a while, and I’m caught in your shape. (Right there, like that)

"Yeah, it’s been a while… but some things never change, huh?"

It’s been a while (Mm mm)

It’s been a while (Yeah, it’s been a while, huh)
