Turning Into You
02:35

You say what I say
Before I say it every time.
And so gradually,
we got twisted like a vine
Am I turning into you?
You get what I get
We get the same thing every time.
I've tried to make my own way
but nothing fits or feels alright.
Am I turning into you?

Swimming In The Bay

Went to go get for my girl
I was swept to a new world
Was a lady by my car
Pointing up at the north star
She was fragrant from the time
Your cologne had it's own mind
Walk the day into night
Kill your idols I'll control mine
Uno mas
Trace your art to a science
Cheers to you and things that you like
Going out and feeling fine
Kill your buzz with a dull knife
Swimming in the bay
I control mine
Swimming in the bay
Swimming in the bay
Miles away from the other side
Swimming in the bay
Swimming in the bay

I Get So Close
04:33

I've seen the not so distant future and I
Just wanna touch it but it's burning like a hot plate
and those excuses I give to my friends.
A golden gate tween you and my man
He's getting heavy into the medical sand
and I give you reasons to no end.
I spend my time selecting this and that
adding material to fuel the fast track
you had his image burned on your skin
I get so close then I pull myself back again
I get so close then I pull myself back again
I get so close then I pull myself back again
I get so close then I pull myself back
I'm getting over your exposure to light
if only there was less speed in my life
the only way is a desire to beat it
or get absorbed by the sun in the street.
Direct me honey to the money that I
left in your pocket on the weekend while I was away
I thought you might like something to buy
or save it up for a rainy night
I get so close then I pull myself back again
I get so close then I pull myself back again
I get so close then I pull myself back

Desperate Times
02:23
|
|

On the surface it might feel like more lies than real trust,
Count it back to zero, from ash to ash and dust to dust
A fountain of forgotten feels, I'm thinking
It's only luck that's keeping me, out here alive.
Desperate times they keep coming on
Desperate times they keep coming for you
All of my life keeps passing by while I'm thinking about
Desperate times they're coming now they're coming around
all of my time is ticking down, it's ticking down
But there's a light that's shining through the darkness of my life
Find a way to make it even in these desperate times
