lyrics

I was born in the city / I aint talkin Berlin / Ballin as a kiddie / Shouts to Pee-Wee Kirkland / I was always ready / I met a lotta girls, man / Most of them were pretty / Some coulda used a Merlin / Wasn't scared of Freddy / Never scared of hurtin / Wasn’t feelin pity / Always feelin certain / Confident and steady / Nonchalant and heading / To a constant onslaught / My mantra it was already / A medley of passion and pain / Every single thought was a blast to the brain / Squeeze my fist then relax it again / Laughing, crying / That is the same / There’s this girl / This girl I know / Who’d probably say ‘Pain’ if you ask for a name / But at the same time she encompasses life / Beauty, truth, compassion and change / No we never gonna change / No it’s never gonna stop / No it never even had a start / Cause before we ever met / And before we ever knew we existed we shared a heart / I remember from the moment that I met her / It already was forever that I’d known her face / From toes to legs to shoulder blades / I’ll hold her hand when I’m blowin away / We’ll die holding hands / Two cold bodies next to each other / Obsessed with each other / We could just rot and I’d bet we’d discover / Some way that we could be texting each other / Perplexed and sexed and vexed with each other / Shit, have we suffered? / Yes / Spite and junk / Fightin drunk / Bitin chunks from each other’s flesh / We’ve taken breaks / Made mistakes / Been poisoned / Lived with afflictions, addictions / Face to face with our fate’s embrace / When it’s gone we’ll miss the friction / I know one truth / The course of love never did run smooth / Of course I knew divorce and feuds / Before I grew to worship you / Who? / Who is this person? / My urban urchin / Curves that swerve like a serpent / So perfect that it’s disturbing / Lettuce and bourbon / Medicine, vermin / A combination of calm and drama / Baking cookies while cooking bacon / Exclamation points and commas / No we never gonna change / No it’s never gonna stop / No it never even had a start / Cause before we ever met / And before we ever knew we existed we shared a heart / I remember from the moment that I met her it already was forever that I’d known her face / From toes to legs to shoulder blades / I’ll hold her hand when I’m blowin away.
