Shortcuts Lyrics - Singles - Kero One

(Chorus) 

Give me a shortcut, show me a way 

I just need a side street to your heart, a faster lane 

So I can get closer to the start 

Just a little closer to your heart 

I want to get closer to the start 

Just a little closer 

(Verse 1) 

I never felt this way before 

My stomach sinks down to the floor 

I try to play it cool, like I ain't a tool 

They say men are dogs, that explains the drool 

Turning heads with those legs and face of yours 

I've never seen such a beautiful face before 

Caramel complected, chiropractic 

You got 'em breaking neck with all your assets 

Me? I'm playing low key like baselines 

I'm in the back like Tito, Mr. incognito 

You asked mi amigos, why your friend so emo 

It was at that moment, it got real 

And next thing I'm texting BRB 

A minute later we LOL 'bout an OMG 

You even think the same things too 

I recognize these butterflies, Déjà vu 

(Chorus) 

(Verse 2) 

It was awkward at that Nas concert 

Guys crowded round you like hounds do 

So you threw your arms around my collar 

The freshest necklace, I felt like a baller 

And I reciprocated, inundated with this feeling so right 

Such a beautiful night, I'll never forget the conversations we had 

The one time I didn't mind, staying out of my lab 

Cause we harmonized with the music we made 

You talked about your past and how you're afraid 

The hurts that he caused and how you escaped 

I confessed my mess you expressed how you relate 

Should I, give you space to explore options 

Or play the love game and let you come stalking 

I'm just joshing, kinda sort of 

Your allure's over my head, you're my fedora 

(Chorus) 

(Bridge) 

There's no other place that I'd rather be 

With you by my side yes we'll drive to the sea 

I'll sing you Sinatra, let's love and be free 

No reservations and no minor key 

I'll give you my heart if you give me yours 

No need to hide it for you I adore 

If you see me shine it's your love I glow 

So give me a shortcut which nobody knows 

(Chorus)
