Tell Them Lyrics by James Blake
(Feat. Moses Sumney & Metro Boomin)
[Moses Sumney:]
In life, just be alone, though you’re a wanderin’ soul
And you got to move on from the squandered soil
When you get what you came here for
Will you leave in the dead of night?
In the heart is a wall of horrors
You’re the undenied
Can’t return the sacred time you steal
A fact betrays the way you feel
And the sight delays the right to heal
You decide to stay long
[James Blake & Moses Sumney:]
I didn’t plan to stay long
I didn’t plan to stay long (Stay long)
I didn’t plan to stay long
I didn’t plan to stay long (Stay long)
In the snake pit so long, I’ve got posters up (Stay long)
Been defending so long, I don’t know how to stop
[James Blake:]
Heart, tell them what you came for
Heart, tell them what you came for
Heart, tell them what you’ve been daydreamin’ about
What the evening’s about to
[Moses Sumney:]
Can’t return the sacred time you steal
A fact betrays the way you feel
And the sight delays the right to heal
You decide to stay long
[James Blake & Moses Sumney:]
I didn’t plan to stay long
I didn’t plan to stay long (Stay long)
I didn’t plan to stay long
I didn’t plan to stay long (Stay long)
In the snake pit so long, I’ve got posters up (Stay long)
I’ve been defending so long, I don’t know how to stop
I’m so afraid
[James Blake:]
Tell them what you came for
Heart, tell them what you came for
Heart, tell them what you’ve been daydreamin’ about
What the evening’s about to
[James Blake & Moses Sumney:]
Aah…
Tell them what you came here for
Oh, oh, oh, stay long
Oh, oh, oh, stay long
Oh, oh, oh, stay long
Oh, oh, long
