lyrics
I’m gonna live in a brownstone
Potted plants and missed opportunities
Gonna take my side-effects home
Cause I’ve been having funny dreams now
When I lace my shoes up
Take note of new ways to breathe
It’s not unusual
To find myself on the shady side of the street
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
And I’ll write my name down
Take it out of town with me
Setting my watch now
Move me, stoplights confusing me I’m gone,
I’m not overdone
Lace me up, make me a home
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
Turned off, I’ll stop
Sometimes my eyes get crossed like I’ve been here before
Like I’ve been showing new intentions
And my face shows
The west coast
And all my Saturday nights off
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
Potted plants and missed opportunities
Gonna take my side-effects home
Cause I’ve been having funny dreams now
When I lace my shoes up
Take note of new ways to breathe
It’s not unusual
To find myself on the shady side of the street
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
And I’ll write my name down
Take it out of town with me
Setting my watch now
Move me, stoplights confusing me I’m gone,
I’m not overdone
Lace me up, make me a home
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
Turned off, I’ll stop
Sometimes my eyes get crossed like I’ve been here before
Like I’ve been showing new intentions
And my face shows
The west coast
And all my Saturday nights off
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
The offense gets a different
Kind of low, kind of you to notice
And my friends, don’t depend on
Me or anyone, but you don’t need to know this
