WHEN SPARKS FLY Lyrics

[Chorus: Lyves]
It's been two years, I keep calling
I'm standing here and I ain't got you

As we lay here, lovers in arms
I can feel your fear, can this love be true?
Come on, lift me up, love, I keep falling
I'm losing faith 'cause you keep stalling

Lift me up, love, I keep falling
I'm losing faith 'cause you keep stalling

[Verse 2: Vince Staples]
Damn, can't believe they took you from me
Kickin' in your front door, lookin' for me

Hid me in our secret place
Nothing I could do for you but sit and wait, contemplate
Did we leave a trail? Did we make mistakes?
Can't drop on your bail, can't check on your case
Know that you won't tell, that's why I'm afraid
You'll probably never get to see the light of day
I'm ashamed to say I think I hate you now
We should've took 'em on a chase 'cause I can't save you now
At least give me a chance to try to lay 'em down

Is you trippin'? You forgettin' that we made these vows?
Still here I am, waiting 'round
Dreaming that you comin' home, right your wrongs, take me out
I can't wait until you bust it down
Probably go a hunnid rounds
[Outro: Lyves, Woman Speaking]
I keep calling
I keep calling (Oh, ooh)
I keep calling
I keep calling
I keep calling (Oh, ooh)
I keep calling
I keep calling
I keep calling (Oh, ooh)
I keep calling

I like him 'cause, you know, 'cause...
'Cause I know [?] when somebody go back for me
We'll be back together and we can have a little fun
But he's in jail right now
For something that he had no business in doin'
"What did he do?"
They said he killed somebody

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
