Until I Met You Lyrics – Alina Baraz ft. Nas
Until I Met You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Alina Baraz]
One thing you won't ever see
Is a rose without a thorn
Life ain't like the movie scenes
What's love without a flaw?
If only I knew
Would it have led me to you?
Patience and communication
I'm still learning those
Took a couple heartbreaks and some tears for me to grow
And now that I grew
I'm finally ready for you
[Chorus: Alina Baraz]
Take our time with this one
Let's just stand and not fall in love
You can't win 'til you lose
I didn't know love
'Til I met you
'Til I met you
[Post-Chorus: Alina Baraz]
Let me be your peace of mind at night when we're alone
Just know you can talk to me when you're feeling vulnerable
Can you promise (Can you promise me, babe)
Through every sun and moon that you'll be honest?
[Verse 2: Nas]
I was just focusing, taking some time to escape
Appreciating how they make wine from grapes
What is it 'bout Cuban cigars?
Is it the taste?
Should go to France and cop Venice bottles by the case
I just had a discussion
'Bout some woman's philandering husband
She love him
Do marriages last anymore is the question?
'Cause I done went down the line with many women who fine
Gave 'em Bags of Vuitton
Peek-a-boo Fendi too
There's unspeakable things they do
Sneaking with other dudes
Lost your sweetness, you be freaking
It's me that you accuse
Why?
And I'm getting too old for this, this is loneliness
Homebody needing someone to kiss and light the OG with
And to chill and listen to oldies with
In raw silk 'cause that's just a cozy fit
I swear my life is getting stressful
It wasn't special 'til I met you
[Chorus: Alina Baraz & Nas]
Take our time with this one
(Wasn't special 'til I met you)
Let's just stand and not fall in love
You can't win 'til you lose
(Yeah, Alina Baraz)
I didn't know love (Nas)
'Til I met you
'Til I met you
('Til I met you)
('Til I met you)
