## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro: Edwin]

Yo, it's PRETTYMUCH

[Verse 1: Brandon]

I see you've been trying to make

Something out of nothing

But baby, I'm starting to face

The fact that you're out on the run (Oh, whoa)

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon]

Now you got me cuffed

And you ain't even know me

Caught me slippin' up

And now I need you on me

I just wanna touch

But I keep being turned away (Whoa)

[Chorus: Zion, *Edwin*]

Girl you could tear me apart

But I can't help it, I'm waitin'

Here with open arms, oh

So when you're ready, you know where to find me

*Got that key to your heart*

*Scrape my knees on the pavement*

*Here with open arms*

*So when you're ready you know where to find me*

[Verse 2: Nick, *Brandon*]

So I've been waiting by my phone (*Brrp*)

For that ringtone

But you just don't know what to say

No, it's not like I'm asking for much (*Whoa, oh*)

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon, *All*]

Now you got me cuffed *(Cuffed, cuffed*)

And you ain't even know me

Caught me slipping up (*Up, up*)

And now I need you on me

I just wanna touch, yeah

But I keep being turned away (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Zion, *Edwin*]

Girl, you could tear me apart

But I can't help it, I'm waitin'

Here with open arms, oh

So when you're ready, you know where to find me

*Got that key to your heart*

*Scrape my knees on the pavement*

*Here with open arms*

*So when you're ready you know where to find me, yeah, oh*

[Bridge: All, *Brandon*, **Nick**]

When you're ready, ready, ready

When you're ready, ready, ready

When you're ready, ready, ready

(*Oh, you know where to find me*)

When you're ready, ready, ready

(*Yeah, you know where to find me*)

When you're ready, ready, ready

When you're ready, ready, ready

*Girl, I've been waitin' by my phone*

When you're ready, ready, ready

*Waiting for your call*

When you're ready, ready, ready

*Waiting for you to come, my baby, oh*

When you're ready, ready, ready

*Baby let me know, yeah*

**When you're ready, oh**

[Chorus: Zion, *Nick*, **Edwin**]

Girl, you could tear me apart

But I can't help it, I'm waitin' (*Tear me apart, baby*)

Here with open arms (*Oh*)

So when you're ready, you know where to find me

**Got that key to your heart** (*Got that key to your heart*)

Scrape my knees on the pavement
**Here with open arms**

**So when you're ready you know where to find me**

[Outro]

You know where to find me
