Lyrics

It's ill
I can't even call this a blues song
It's been so long
You know, neither one of us is wrong or anything like that but
It's like yesterday man
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
For the fourth third
I Chris Columbus three words from Stevie for the issue
The only thing to call it was official
The way I lived for you was as if I'd die with you
Cause not a moment I spent with you was artificial
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 conjured when I met you
So years grew between us and still I can't forget you
Regretting how I ever let you let me let you
Escape fool's 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 still wade
In the holy waters that made our sweet lemonade
Too dumb to persist, too smart to persuade
Too heavy to push aside and too strong to stay
Too hard to work, but 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
Memories take you back
To the good times
When it's over
And the sad times disappear
Memories take you back
To the lean times, in between times
And the days of yesteryear
Memories are that way
Memories are that way, that way back to that way back
When I could never think of you and say wack
Similar to old cassettes, something to cuss at
Deteriorating with each rewind and playback
Even now under the hiss, I reminisce on this
Angelic face, reciprocating bliss
With the radio low, your feet anchored in mine
Hands to waistline, walking to a bassline
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
Lending fingers with spines aligned
Digging in your mind like it's mine
Sometimes at night it seems so damn right
Just to shift nose to neck, adjust to get a whiff
I never seen life like this, so lifelike
This is how I'd like my life to subsist
But somewhere in between us were interpretations of
Justice and Jesus, cultures in said nations
But if I woulda knew what I know now
Mighta never known how
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
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 you been?"
To "Let me get your number, damn, do I have a pen?"
From "May I speak to?" to "Peace, who's this?" to "Hey"
To hear the joy in your voice, I call you everyday
The VCR blue screen lit the dark room
Miles and Gil, "Quiet Night", that was our tune
But Friday's dates and Saturday's prayer
Led to Sunday's breakup and Monday's makeup
As just friends up until Tuesday's 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 so's
But if it's so right, never mind, we both know
Sometimes I wonder if you married my replacement
Equally yoked with ideas adjacent
You built a whole 'nother story to your dream house
Kept my possessions in a box in the basement
I still consider you a songbird singing in an open cage
Gilded with fool's gold, but that's just me
There'll never be no animosity, I'm thankful for the memories
All I ask is that you remember me
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 inside
And you are with me still
I roamed a thousand miles before you came
