J-live - The 4th 3rd lyrics

Can't even call this a blues song It's been so long Neither one of us was wrong or anything like that It seems like yesterday [Chorus] In the silence of the city night When the lonely watch the sky in yearning I, at rest, lie in peace beside you I searched a thousand skies before you came [Verse 1] For the 4th 3rd, I Chris Columbus three words from Stevie for the issue The only thing to call it was official The way I live for you was as if I die with you Cause not a moment I spent with you was artifical The plan from the dome was to build a home with you Forever had a space in my heart, I roam with you Hypothetical dreams conjure when I met you See, years grew between us and stil I can't forget you Regretting how I ever let you let me let you escape fools paradise Running from a paradox Living like a pair of ducks, but with different flocks With different destinations, our ships remain docked Temporary, but the feelings that I harbor stil wade In the holy waters that made our sweet lemonaid Too dumb to persist, too smart to persuade Too heavy to push aside and too stong to stay Too hard to work and so easy to play Like chopsticks, what I picked slipped away Leaving me to recollect day by day And take solace in the words Bill say [Chorus] Memories take you back, to the good times When it's over and sad times disappear Memories take you back To the lean times, in between times To the days of yesteryear Memories are that way [Verse 2] Memories are that way, that way back to that way back When I could never think of you and say "wack" Similar to old ca**ettes, something to cuss at Deteriorating with each rewind and playback Even now, one of the hits I remenice On this angelic face, reciplicating bliss With the radio low, your feet anchored in mine Hands to waistline, walking to a ba**line Good food in my belly, good love on my mind Turn around to a kiss deep enough to stop time Open up to a smile so bright, I go blind To the suffering of the world, everything appears fine Poetry in the bed, literally You putting me open to Stephanie and Giovanni With legs entwined, trading profound lines Fingers and spines aligned, digging in your mind like it's mine Sometimes at night it seem so damn right Just to shift nose to neck, just to get a whiff I've never seen life like this, so life-like This is how I'd like my life to subsist But somewhere in between us were interpetations Of justice and Jesus, cultures in said nations But if I woulda knew what I know now, mighta never known how [Chorus] Memories take you back, to the good times When it's over I searched a thousand skies before you came And in the morning, when the world is new The lonely turn away, as I turn to you, beside me [Verse 3] The greatest story ever erased and never replaced The worst torture ever I faced Was trying to retrace the steps in my mind Like a defeated surgeon fighting fate with the cure Just a little too late We went from "Yo, who's that?" to "Hi, my name is Jay" To hoping I would run into you in the hallway To "That's my homegirl, peace queen, how ya been?" To "Lemme get your number, damn do I have a pen?" From "May I speak to please, who's this? to 'Hey!'" To hear the joy in your voice I call you every day The VCR blue screen lit the dark room Miles and Gil, "Quiet Nights" that was our tune But fridays dates and saturdays prayer Lead to sundays break-up, and mondays make-up As just friends up until tuesdays wake up Together again, in a cycle that never ends My young heart coulda swore love transcends But two turntables alone don't make a blend The tracks are too different for "ifs, buts and sos" But if it's so right? Never mind, we both know Sometimes I wonder if you married my replacement Equally old with ideas adjacent You build a whole nother story to your dream house Kept my possessions in a box in the basement I stil consider you a song bird, singing in the open cage Guilded with fools gold, but that's just me There never be no animocity, I'm thankful for the memories All I ask is that you remember me [Chorus] In the silence of the city night When the lonely watch the sky in yearning I, at rest, lie in peace beside you I searched a thousand skies before you came And in the morning, when the world is new The lonely turn away, as I turn to you, beside me And in the quiet of the afternoon, when the lonely roam I turn beside, and you are with me stil I roamed a thousand miles before you came
