"Ooh, you're taking up a fraction of my mind."
Metaphor in Context
I was walking down the street the other day
Tryna distract myself
But then I see your face
Oh, wait, that's someone else
Tryna play it coy
Tryna make it disappear
But just like the battle of Troy
There's nothing subtle here
In my room, there's a king-size space
Bigger than it used to be
If you want, you can rent that place
Call me an amenity
Even if it's in my dreams
Ooh, you're taking up a fraction of my mind
Ooh, every time I watch you serpentine.
Tryna distract myself

Bigger than it used to be
If you want, you can rent that place
Call me an amenity
Even if it's in my dreams
Ooh, you're taking up a fraction of my mind
Ooh, every time I watch you serpentine.
