On Guard (feat. Lauren Jauregui)

Feline with the instinct
Cosmic intuition
I know the truth before it's given
I can read it in your feelings

Take some patience and persistence
Time in precision
My trust is not easily given

You gotta wait on my permission
To open me up
Take a look under my heart
Your hands over my scars
Maybe too much

So I gotta see who you are
Before you inspire the art
So calm down
There's no need to rush now
Don't let it go too far

On guard
Staying on guard
Gotta watch out for my heart
Never really know somеone, one

So I'll keep a distance bеtween
The thought of you and me
Never really know someone, one, one

(Never really know someone, one)
You tell me not to block my blessings
But I'm blessed on my own
I use my breakups to get in the zone

You don't wanna be a song
Don't be the reason I'm here all alone
I know not to make a purse in my home
My guard up like floyd, up like north, uptight boy
I can do it if you don't bring me the utmost joy

So on guard
Staying on guard
Gotta watch out for my heart
Never really know someone
Till you really know someone
You just wanna hold someone

You been missed
East Atlanta love letter
Then I duck off quick
Fall in love with some deep end shit
Don't try to rush, you break my heart, baby
'Cause my defense's lit, yeah

On guard (on guard)
Staying on guard (guard)
Gotta watch for my heart
Never really know someone, one

So I'll keep a distance between
The thought of you and me
Never really know someone, one, one
One, you never really know someone
