Verse 1: All his life it was like his was in the clouds The world as monopoly pieces, homie was looking down never standing in the front, blocking the crowd skinny during puberty, ha look at him now

(Hook x2) Just a touch of love, a lil' bit Just a touch of you... (Verse) I'm zoned out at the edge of the stage I see you in the back, steady tryna remember ya name Those the same green eyes that I recall When I had the microphone here last fall So a full four seasons, nothing sweet when you sleep For no reason, spit the last bar and barely still breathin' Blink twice, I'm not believin', you in the crowd, it's gettin' loud The people leavin' , I look around, don't see you After the pics with fans, still don't see you PEACE to my band, they talkin' bout waffle-house and after hour plans While this strange coincidence. I'm tryna comprehend Collected my dividends, scan the 5-2-9 right before they expand Upon my exit, a black Coupe pulled in front the venue A dark tint, turn to green eyes with a side smile on the menu Even remember the time, was ten past two Before I knew it, I was chillin' in the passenger That ill magnetic, the law of attraction first (Hook x2) Just a touch of love, a lil' bit Just a touch of you... (Verse) You was a gentleman, drove me to my car right around the block At Glennwood and Joseph behind the crosswalk You park, I start to to grin cause you was nervous And curious, cause shit, you could work for secret service "So why you followin' me" I asked, homie laughed "You a artist, baby, all yo shows are on blast" I chuckled, we both knew that it was different Same as before, I felt my heart beat shiftin' When I used to hear that in songs, it sounded corny But when it's real, it make you crazy till the next mornin' Now we sittin' here, adornin', gettin' overwhelmed A little horny, you say till Christmas you'll be still tourin' I locked the math in this time, you did the same then reassured me quality time when you return Gave me a forehead kiss and made my whole body yearn (Hook x2) Just a touch of love, a lil' bit Just a touch of you...

Off Limits 04:31
v1. Now Recently my mind been hitting rewind to when I met you I remember your eyes your smile, shit and how your lips moved To the city of angels I was brand new, mutual friends, us meeting was inevitable Before then we heard about each each other You just had a baby girl and married her mother Coveted family man, the ultimate lover Was lusting undercover Would see you with your wife and knew for sure you loved her I saw you pretty often at shows Long talks on the side on music industry woes You'd school me on fake friends and snakes Made me aware, nothing deep that all it takes At first you were just a cute face Then I noticed a new feeling whenever we'd embrace Would step back in a different space Dude made heart beat a different pace and now my thoughts of him is out of place, wait Hook Can't control these thought of you and I I'm think about bout you day & night Self control's so hard I don't know why Ya off limits but is seems so right v2. Maybe it's my earning for affection Maybe cuz he noticed things and paid me attention He calls me beautiful and gorgeous every time he sees me The last kiss on the neck makes resistance far from easy The flirting grew to teasing But then he'll disappear Never continued past the venues We tried to stay clear no sexting no phone calls Cuz he's a married man But damn I'm tryna make this fire die down the best I can Told myself its my imagination Tryna resist temptation Of being aggressive but shit I'm not a home wrecker But then one night you put your feelings on record I Went from unsure to very clear in a second Told me your lust for my body in text message If alone we'da crossed lines no question They say outta sight outta mind I guess i'll see you the next lifetime Hook v3. Still in denial, while my mind’s creating movie scenes Us both saying fuck it and disregarding integrity At this point it's just really me Cuz you're not doing anything really Cuz you're not leading me on, or playing Shamar on motives Just attraction, thats it, we both know it Not like I expect you to leave it all and blow it You love your wife and kids, and not afraid to show it Like I said, I should be able to forget about you I do for a week or two, then I gotta be around you Sometimes I end up where you are on purpose Just to make butterflies resurface Everything about you are is perfect But naw, the naughty thoughts just aint worth it Living a lie and shit you aint mine? a mind circus I want exclusive, that what money cant purchase till then I fantasize i thru these 3 verses Hook vamp: Boy you know I'm off limits Boy I know you're off limits Boy we know we're off limits we both know we're off limits, limits

about

Love’s Trail Mix is Lyric’s second official release and she came up with the title as a way to paint the picture of how multi-faceted love is. Lyric states “love can be complicated, happy, confused, beautiful, angry, disappointing and magical all at the same time. Trail Mix has a lot of different flavors and textures—but it is still an appealing snack.” Love’s Trail Mix tells stories of love from various perspectives, but it is short and sweet and parallels the “Trail Mix” metaphor.
