Mahalia – Square 1 lyrics

[Verse 1]
All this time I been waiting 'round (But if I'd known)
You'd give up while I'm holding this down (Then I would have) Treated you much differently
I wouldn't have been so cozy
Guess I'll let you figure this out

[Chorus]
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back again, uh, back again love
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back to love songs and back to friend zones
Didn't even get to go 'round in circles
Now you're acting scared son
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back again love
Back again, back again
Back to square 1

[Verse 2]
I'm not a big fan of surprise (And I know you know)
I'm not into living no lies ('Cause I told you so)
You never should have came my way
And I should have never let you stay
All this 'cause I swallowed my pride, ha ha

[Bridge]
I (I), you (You), could've been something
More you (You) knew (Knew)
We'd remain nothing more than friends (Friends)
You knew (You knew), we could do nothing more than friends (Friends) do (Do)
Back to square 1
Back to square 1

[Chorus]
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back again, uh, back again love
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back to love songs and back to friend zones
Didn't even get to go 'round in circles
Now you're acting scared son
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back again love
Back again, back again
Back to square 1

[Poetic Bridge]
Hm hm. Ah. I knew you would. You know, a part of me thought, like, this time was gonna be different. But it's like every single time I think you're being straight with me, I think I understand you, and then before you know it, you just go right back around. Haha

[Chorus]
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back again, uh, back again love
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back to love songs and back to friend zones
Didn't even get to go 'round in circles
Now you're acting scared son
Yeah, we go, yeah, we go
Back again love
Back again, back again
Back to square 1

[Bridge]
I (I), you (You), could've been something
More you (You) knew (Knew)
We'd remain nothing more than friends (Friends)
You knew (You knew), we could do nothing more than friends (Friends) do (Do)
Back to square 1
Back to square 1

[Outro]
Could've been, could've been
Yeah, yeah
Could've been, could've been
Back to square 1, back to square 1
I don't get it, love
