[Hook]-
Life moves too fast to take love slow
I'll roll you a blunt if you have time to blow
And as long as you promise not to go
The Golden State will never lose its glow
I know, I know, I know, I know
My heart's an empty home with room to grow
But I know, I know, I know, know
In your voice I hear my echo
[Verse 1]-
I'm tired of rewatching How I Met Your Mother
I see my yellow umbrella, but I close the shutters
I roam the streets at night to find rest in the gutter
I'm not of worth to be your significant other
But I wonder if I might apply as a part-time lover
To have and hold temporarily forever
What say you we both get out of here now?
Leave our fear to live in the city that knows how
We'll reach for paper lanterns in Chinatown
We'll try to map our future though it can't be pinned down
With cigarette holes in our clothes, we'll live exposed, slam poets juxtaposed with the scholars of old English prose. Let' go where no one knows. As long as we're outsiders, we cannot be imposed
[Hook]
[Verse 2]-
If you want to vent, we can take to smokin'
And give critique of street-art in West Oakland
Cracks in the pavement couldn't match how much we're broken
But through our fractured skulls our eyes become wide open
If hope exists, you are the proof
Slow-dancing on my childhood home roof
We're on top of the world, can you feel the altitude?
I feel infinite, even though nothing's absolute
I used to never talk to god, but lately I've been praying that you're heaven-sent
I take all of you in from the tobacco smoke to perfume scent
I used to not look to the stars until you lifted my face from the cement
I've fallen many times before, baby, will you join me in this descent?
[Hook]
