  He says
I got Potential...

Potential means theres something there
but he cant quite see
he has on his cool glasses right now
which cover the quite in me

It means you’ve got everything together
But for us to be together
you’ve got to pull more strings together
And I’m pushing you away (baby)
while you pull me to stay (lady)

But on the outside you're acting nonchalantly

Telling me that everything would be happy as hay
If I go with flow
hold on to nothing
ride you wild
but oh keep my feelings mild

potential is like a loosely tied sweater around your neck in place of a scarf
because honestly
you’re cold but you’d rather look preppy
so that someone else could see your potential
the potential you have to be theirs
the potential you have to have them on your mind 24/7 secretly
the potential you have to romantically hold their sweaty hands
not letting go because the sweat between your palms
reminds you of the sweat between yall
potentially
one day
it means if you’re hair was longer
your booty was bigger
your swag swaggier
your forehead a little smaller
your eyebrow a little more upright, right?

No
on the real tip it means
I have the potential to be your all
if you could get Yourself right,
right?

Because right now your not ready to be a good boyfriend
and you know I’ll accept that
Although waiting could be whack
potentially
It means
You've been looking for me all this time thinking about me forever
And now that I've finally arrived
You have no more thoughts déjà vu’s
or dreams of us being together
And now the only things between us
are parking lot lustful screams

Im just saying, Everything that I imagined you were
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care if your that smart
I don’t care that face is that pretty

It Does actually matter to me now if you have titties
- Just having ass isn't enough
Before I didn’t
now I do give a shit
I mean damn

Potential means we can make plans
to go on dates as friends
Its not set and stone whether I’ll make it,
but for the sake of the word
And for the sake of the moment
I’ll fake it

Actually potential doesn’t mean a god damn thing
You just like the way it sounds
It smoothes the sharp edges round when I bring up
our relationship
And if I weren’t dumb in love with you
I could feel the harsh words between our relationship
Instead of explaining them
until they are drawn out and fluffy
So as of right now I’m gone

potentially
