I walk by your presence everyday
IÂ’m like a groundhog that missed Groundhog Day
I hope my parachute opens soon
Â’Cause if I donÂ’t take risks
Then IÂ’ll never groove with you
Yeah yeah yeah
I got something to prove
Yeah yeah yeah

Pre Chorus:
Though rejection is my most loyal friend
I think IÂ’m gonna dump her and start to bend for you
IÂ’m gonna bend for you yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
IÂ’m gonna bend for you yeah
IÂ’m gonna bend for you
IÂ’m gonna bend for you yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
IÂ’m gonna bend for you yeah

Chorus:
DonÂ’t wannaÂ’ be like a turtle in the walls of my comfort zone
C’mon baby let me show you how much I‘ve grown
Â’Cause IÂ’m open like a 24-hour store
CÂ’mon and fill your cart with all my goods or
Pass up my expiration date
But donÂ’t come back when you know your fate
Was with me

But IÂ’m tired of wasting my precious time
Pretending that IÂ’m always doinÂ’ fine
IÂ’m gonna start living for something real
Then maybe you and I can make a deal
For love
Yeah yeah yeah
IÂ’m gonnaÂ’ get your love
Yeah yeah yeah

Pre Chorus

Chorus

ThereÂ’s no chance if you donÂ’t take one
ThereÂ’s no chance if you donÂ’t take one
ThereÂ’s no chance
So like a raginÂ’ turtle
IÂ’m gonnaÂ’ hurdle over all the fears in me
(repeat 2 times)
