The doors open | |
My left foot sitting on the driveway | |
You lookin’ at me sideways | |
You tryna predict what I might say | |
But my mind ain’t here now, I’m thinking ‘bout the highway | |
Gone with the gust | |
Sing songs for the bombs that fall in the dusk | |
We all want a little too much | |
Tryna clutch anything close enough to touch | |
And if I had the means | |
I would never be the mascot of y’ll team | |
Y’ll judging trials | |
I’m shoveling miles | |
Wanna go home and try to grow a couple of smiles | |
So I shift to the capital N | |
It happened before and it’ll happen again | |
Roll backwards into the street | |
Now talk amongst yourselves but try to keep it on beat | |
I got at least ten minutes to live | |
You not a thief just simulative | |
There’s no need to be a difficult finish | |
You can see you ain’t the only one considering getting it in | |
Claim that you ain’t afraid to die | |
Then why are you afraid to fly? | |
You better face the heights | |
Get your bravery stripes or get your name denied | |
Cause you was waiting for a safer ride | |
God bless I set up the bricks | |
Step through the mess to erect the kicks | |
Dreamt that I lept off the edge of the ciff | |
Came back said the bodies up in heaven were thick | |
Changing lanes and re-arranging life | |
I ain’t tryna chase a trail of tail-lights | |
Manage pain to get the placement right | |
Stand up straight when you say goodnight | |
[Instrumental break: 16 bars] | |
[Verse 2] | |
And each broken glass shows a different view | |
I deal the truth y’ll pick and choose | |
This ain’t a game for you to win or lose | |
But I, never been in your shoes | |
But I, never make supper with suckers | |
It ain’t nothing if it ain’t about hunger | |
You think you cuttin’ the lumber | |
And I would love to be a fly on the cupboard | |
Whenever that bubble ruptures | |
And even when we save the day | |
We never do it believing that we don’t make mistakes | |
You don’t need to recognize my face | |
I’m trying to fly through time and space | |
Too late to erase me | |
With the windows down, January on Lake Street | |
Poppa got a brand new can of paint | |
Put your hands in the air like you work at the bank |
The doors open | |
My left foot sitting on the driveway | |
You lookin' at me sideways | |
You tryna predict what I might say | |
But my mind ain' t here now, I' m thinking ' bout the highway | |
Gone with the gust | |
Sing songs for the bombs that fall in the dusk | |
We all want a little too much | |
Tryna clutch anything close enough to touch | |
And if I had the means | |
I would never be the mascot of y' ll team | |
Y' ll judging trials | |
I' m shoveling miles | |
Wanna go home and try to grow a couple of smiles | |
So I shift to the capital N | |
It happened before and it' ll happen again | |
Roll backwards into the street | |
Now talk amongst yourselves but try to keep it on beat | |
I got at least ten minutes to live | |
You not a thief just simulative | |
There' s no need to be a difficult finish | |
You can see you ain' t the only one considering getting it in | |
Claim that you ain' t afraid to die | |
Then why are you afraid to fly? | |
You better face the heights | |
Get your bravery stripes or get your name denied | |

Step through the mess to erect the kicks | |
Dreamt that I lept off the edge of the ciff | |
Came back said the bodies up in heaven were thick | |
Changing lanes and rearranging life | |
I ain' t tryna chase a trail of taillights | |
Manage pain to get the placement right | |
Stand up straight when you say goodnight | |
