Yeah, and This is not the scenic route Close your eyes let me show you what I dream about We fell asleep upon the ride home To the raindrops and stereo and my phone buzzin’ But I had never heard a sweeter sound Than all your cluttered thoughts slowly almost leaking out Like we could do this with our eyes closed As I listened to you try to hit the high notes I said “It’s a simple thing that I’m thinking upon Yes, I’ve been prickled, but I’m soon to be figuring out” In a different time zone Watching the fireflies fly I’m always far away From where my mind goes by you Put a mountain in my way and I could climb that Or put an ocean in my way and I could dive right through it It’s funny how we stand unchanged in plans unmade I’ve always been a runaway but can’t complain Because

Most emcees these days spit promotional rhymes Is it wrong that I’m in touch with my emotional side? As a kid I used to wonder where the ocean would die And if there’s anybody like me hoping on the other side. Now I’m just broken enough to evoke emotion in both of us Open and spoken and totaled in lines I’m gonna write things off when I go to revise Nobody’s ghost is colder than mine Despite the old jokes and life lessons that we’ll hopefully find Years down the road honestly that’s totally fine But in your mailbox an envelope will open your eyes Keep your friends close, I’ll always with mine
