Frank Ocean – Thinkin’ About You

2012-07-16T07:30:00.001-07:00

Album: channel ORANGE

Year: 2012

A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn’t rain in
Southern California, much like Arizona
My eyes don’t shed tears, but boy, they bawl

When I’m thinkin’ bout ya, ooh no no no
i’ve been thinkin’ bout ya, you know know know
i’ve been thinkin’ bout ya, do you think about me still?
Do ya? Do ya?

Or do you not think so far ahead?
‘Cause i’ve been thinkin’ bout forever, ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead?
‘Cause i’ve been thinkin’ bout forever, ooh

No, I don’t like you, i just thought you were cool enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don’t love you, I just thought you were cute, that’s why I kiss you
Got a fighter jet I don’t get to fly it though I’m lying down

Thinkin’ bout ya, ooh no no no
i’ve been thinkin’ bout ya, you know know know
i’ve been thinkin’ bout ya, do you think about me still?
Do ya? Do ya?

Or do you not think so far ahead?
‘Cause i’ve been thinkin’ bout forever, ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead?
‘Cause i’ve been thinkin’ bout forever, ooh

Yes, of course I remember, how could I forget how you feel?
You know you were my first time, a new feel
It will never get old, not in my soul, not in my spirit, keep it alive
We’ll go down this road ’til it turns from color to black and white

Or do you not think so far ahead?
‘Cause i’ve been thinkin’ bout forever, ooh
Or do you not think so far ahead?
‘Cause i’ve been thinkin’ bout forever, ooh

We’re spending too much time alone
and i just ran out of Trojans
horses gallop to her throne
we’re behaving like teenagers
making less than minimum wage
still inside our parents’ homerone
no i dont live in Denver
i grew up in sierra Leone
and her pink skies will keep me warm sierra Leone
Sierra Leone

Tid bits of intuition that i been gettin abandon mission abandon mission
you must be kidding
this shit feelin different

Shit feelin too good
to me glistenin
shimmerin underneath the sunlight
and a new day
will bring about the dawn
and a new day
will bring another crying babe into the world

(girl now)
our daughters reaching for your nipple cause its time for her to eat
tonight ill lay her in the cradle
if its time for go to sleep
i’ll sing a Lennon lullaby
she can have a pretty dream
baby girl if you knew what i know knew what i know

The best song wasn’t the single but you weren’t either

living in ladera heights
the black beverly hills domesticated paradise

Palm trees and pools
the waters blue swallow the pill
keeping it surreal
whatever you like
whatever feels good
whatever takes you mountain high
keeping it surreal
not sugar free my tv aint had that’s too real grape vine mango peaches and lime
a sweet life a sweet life sweet life
sweet life sweet life
a sweet sweet sweet sweet life
a sweet life a sweet life sweety pie

You’ve had a landscaper and a housekeeper since you were born
the starshine always kept you warm
so why see the world
when you got the beach dont know why see the world when you got the beach
the sweet life

The best song wasn’t the single
but you couldn’t turn your radio down

Satellite need a receiver
cant seem to turn the signal
transmitting a wave
your catching that breeze
till you’re dead in the grave
but you’re keeping it surreal
whatever you like
whatever feels good
whatever takes your mountain
keeping it surreal
not sugar free, my tv aint hd thats too real grape vines mango peaches and lime
a sweet life a sweet life a sweet life
a sweet life a sweet life a sweet life
live and die in the life

You’ve had a landscaper and a housekeeper since you were born
the starshine always kept you warm
so why see the world
when you got the beach dont know why see the world when you got the beach

And the water
is exactly what i wanted
its everything i thought itd be
but this neighborhood
is getting trippier everyday neighborhood is going ape shit crazy

You’ve had a landscaper and a housekeeper since you were born
the starshine always kept you warm
so why see the world
when you got the beach
dont know why see the world
when you got the beach
the sweet life

Album: channel ORANGE

Year: 2012

Set the cheetahs on the loose
there’s a thief out on the move
underneath our legions
view they have taken
Cleopatra

Run run run
come back for my glory
bring her back to me
run run run
the crown of our pharaoh
the throne of our queen is empty

And we’ll run to the future
shining like diamonds
in a rocky world
our skin like bronze and
our hair like cashmere
as we march to the rhythm
on the palace floor
chandeliers inside the pyramids
tremble from the force
cymbals crash inside the pyramids
voices fill up the halls

Set the cheetahs on the loose
there’s a thief out on the move
underneath our legions
view they have taken
Cleopatra

The jewel of Africa
what good is a jewel that aint still precious
how could you run off on me
how could you run off on us
you feel like god inside that gold
i found you laying down with Samson
and his full head of hair
i found my black queen Cleopatra
bad dreams Cleopatra

Remove her
send the cheetahs to the tomb
our war is over
our queen has met her doom
no more she lives no more
serpent in her room
it has killed Cleopatra

Big sun coming strong through the motel blinds
wake up to your girl
for now lets call her Cleopatra
Cleopatra
i watch you fix your hair
then put your panties on
in the mirror
Cleopatra
then your lipstick
Cleopatra
then your six inch heels
catch her
she’s headed to the pyramid
she’s working at the pyramid tonight

Working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight

Pimpin in my convos
bubbles in my champagne
let it be some jazz playing
top floor motel suite
twisting my cigars
floor model tv with the vcr
got rubies in my damn chain
whip aint go no gas tank
but it still got wood grain
got yo girl working for me
hit the strip and my bills paid
that keep my bills paid
hit the strip and my bills paid
keep a nigga bills paid

She’s working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid
working at the pyramid tonight
working at the pyramid

You showed up after work
I’m bathing your body
touch you in places only i know
you’re wet and you’re warm
just like our bathwater
can we make love before you go
the way you say my name
makes me feel like I’m that nigga
but I’m still unemployed
you say its big but you take it
ride cowgirl
but your love aint free no more
but your love aint free no more

nothing wrong with another short plane ride through the sky

You mean so much to me

we made it safely
even with your father’s army trailing us
we escaped him
even with his archer’s bows at our backs
what a great escape
but theres a long way still in fact
we’re lost in a jungle underneath these clouds
there’s a monsoon that never ends
a coke white tiger woke us from our slumber
to guide and protect us til the end

We’re in the clouds
wave em high now to the sky
but you’re beautiful to me
keep em high ya’ll show you right but you’re beautiful to me beautiful

its rush hour
so take the streets if you wanna just outrun the demons could you
he said allah hu akbar
i told him don’t curse me
bo bo you need prayer
i guess it couldn’t hurt me
if it brings me to my knees it’s a bad religion

this unrequited love
to me its nothing but a one man cult
and cyanide in my styrofoam cup
i could never make him love me
never make him love me
love me love me love me love me
love me love me
love me love me love me love
taxi driver i swear i’ve got three lives
balanced on my head like steak knives
i can’t tell you the truth about my disguise
i can’t trust no one
and you say allah hu akbar
i told him don’t curse me
bo bo you need prayer
i guessed it couldn’t hurt me
if it brings me to my knees
it’s a bad religion

unrequited love
to me its nothing but a one man cult
and cyanide in my styrofoam cup
i could never make him love me

no no

it’s a it’s a bad religion
to be in love with
someone who could never love you only bad only bad religion
could have me feeling the way i do

And the peaches and the mangos
you could sell for me

What do you think my brain is made for
is it just a container for the mind
this great grey matter
sensei replied what is your woman
is she just a container for the child
that soft pink matter
cotton candy maajin bu
close my eyes and fall into you
my god she’s giving me pleasure

What if the sky and the stars are for show
and the aliens are watching live
from the purple matter
sensei went quiet then violent
and we sparred until we both grew tired
nothing mattered
cotton candy maajin bu

Dim the lights and fall into
you my god giving me pleasure
pleasure pleasure pleasure
pleasure over matter

Since you been gone

i been having withdrawals
you were such a habit to call
i aint myself at all had to tell myself naw
she’s better with some fella with a regular job
i didn’t wanna get her involved
by dinner mr. Benjamin was sittin in awe
hopped into my car drove far
far’s too close and i remember
my memories no sharp
butter knife what a life anyway
i’m building y’all a clock stop
what am i hemingway
she had the kind of body
that would probably intimidate
any of ‘em that were un-southern
not me cousin
if models are made for modeling
thick girls are made for cuddlin’
switch worlds and we can huddle then
who needs another friend
i need to hold your hand
you’d need no other man
we’d flee to other lands

Grey matter
blue used to be my favorite color
now i aint got no choice
blue matter

You’re good at being bad
you’re bad at being good
for heaven’s sakes go to hell
knock knock knock knock on wood

Well frankly when that ocean so muphuckin good
make her swab the muphuckin wood
make her walk the muphuckin plank
make her rob a muphuckin bank
with no mask on and a rusty revolver

Darker times
They’re telling boulder heavy lies
Looks like all we’ve got is each other
The truth is obsolete
Remember when all I had was my mother
She didn’t compromise
She could recognize
Voodoo
Our daughters and our sons
Are just candles in the sun
Voodoo
Don’t let him see divide
Don’t you let her see divide
Voodoo
She’s got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit
He’s got the whole wide world in his pants
He wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band
Then put the whole wide world on her hands
She’s got the whole wide world in her hands
He’s got the whole wide world in his hands

There’s somethin’ about you
I can’t believe I’m even talking to you, tellin’ you this right now
You’re special
I wish you could see what I see

She peels an orange for us in the morning
She woke me up to give me half
I can hear the children talk of ballin’
Like wildcats running on the grass, hey

You’re a girl on this island
I’m a boy from America
My flight leaves tonight, but I don’t think I’m going backwards
I won’t be going backwards

[Hook]
You’re my golden girl
You’re the one I’ve chosen girl
You’re 24k
You make it bright when it’s grey
You’re my golden girl
The sun has been kind to you
You’re 24k (Girl)
But the sky’s never grey (Never grey)

Silent moments, meditative focus
You break my focus, you make me laugh
Two mopeds racing through the forest
Making dirt clouds on a path, on a path

I’m my best on this island
I’m a mess in America
My flight left last night, but I know I’m not going back home, yeah
I’m not going back home, no

[Hook]

If we build a house in paradise, will we get to heaven still?
If we don’t have to live through hell just to get to heaven
I’mma stay right here with you
Til the hurricane comes, ’til the tsunami comes, I’ve found my girl

[Hook]

Um, you’re my G-O L-D E-N G-I R-L
And that’s for the females that can’t spell, but
Thanks for fucking with me
You turn my dark into light, you’re like a bucket of bleach
You see, I want you to know that
My negatives at home aren’t working for my Kodak
So that means that I don’t want to go back
Just know that I would like to stay here and hold that
Hand of yours, girl I’m a wreck in America
Your face is the best cause it’s the same color as the lace on my neck
And you’re golden, uh, your eyes open, fuck it
Let’s toast and listen to Michael Bolton
I free-fall off the hill again
Let’s see where I land, I’m like Gilligan
Um, I trust you, Golden, for what? ?
I’m just hopin’ that you don’t turn my neck green

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know, anymore
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype, save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright, I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I?

Well, Some nights I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know, (come on)

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, oh come on

Well, this is it guys, that is all, five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home, sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from,
Some terrible lies

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh

Give me a second
I, I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
Getting higher than the Empire State

My lover
She's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses
Asking about a scar and

I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
Though holes in my apologies

I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Though I know that I'm not
all that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back, so lets raise a toast
Cause I found someone to carry me home tonight...

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight
(Na, na, na, na, na, na)
Just carry me home tonight
(Na, na, na, na, na, na)

Carry me home tonight
(Na, na, na, na, na, na)
Just carry me home tonight
(Na, na, na, na, na, na)

The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home tonight

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

Carry on

Well I woke up to the sound of silence
the cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
and I found you with a bottle of wine
your head in the curtains
and heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said
We are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
Cause I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends
at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked
about how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives

But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you want of me

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Woah
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
Cause after all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one’s ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
So we’ll come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

I got enough on my mind

that when she pulls me by the hand
She hasn't much to hold onto

She keeping count on her hand One, Two, Three days
That I been sleeping on my side

I finished kissing my death
so now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been,
I mean the sun was never like this
I wanna feel with the season.
I guess it makes sense
Cause my lifes become as vapid as a night out in Los Angeles
And I just want to stay in bed,

And hold you like I used to
You know that I am home, so darling if you love me
Would you let me know...?

Or go on, go on, go on,
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why and I the one always packing up my stuff

For once, for once, for once,
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff

She got enough on her mind
That she feel no sorrow
I let my fate fill the air
So now she rollin down the window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me
We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong

Go on, go on, go on,
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff

For once, for once, for once,
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much

I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it

I'll move back down to this western town
When they find me out make no mistake about it

I'll move back down to this western town...
(Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come)
Why am I the one always packin up my stuff

Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinkin that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packin up my stuff

For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packin up my stuff

I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
I'll move back down...

What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god

This is really happening
You never looked so bored
Can you feel my fingernails?
They've never been so short

It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

I can taste your summer sweat
It's never been so warm
So can we kick the covers off?
They're always on
It's never been so warm

It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
If you could see the look that's in your eyes

Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers
Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

There's a fire in sky
Some snow on the ground
Not quite enough cigarettes
To calm me down

What have we done, oh my god
What have we done, oh my god

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

(This is really happening)
It gets better, it gets better
It gets better, we'll get better

I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep
Now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold

And I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone

I gave her to you (I don't need a toy)
I thought you might appreciate (I don't like the way that it moves)
The way that she dances
The painted look upon her face (Someone must have thrown this away)
She must have come from the sun (I've got too much stuff)
I want to take her through the park
Where she'd tell me I'm all that she wants (Speaking of which)
If she could even talk (I think we need to talk)

I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone

And she sits on my shelf
It makes me think of you
The way she carries the things that remind me of who
We used to be before we became antiques
She's a lot like you
But when I hold her too tight, I know she'll break
She just takes some glue to stay

I feel so all alone
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
You're never gonna smile with the way that you're wired

And I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone
I feel so all alone

And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.

And I got the call soon as the day hit night.
As soon as the headlights lit up the Westside.
I stopped the car and came outside
Cause I know that tone.
I remember the first time
We wished upon parallel lines.
Waiting for a friend to call
And say they're still alive.
I've given everyone I know
A good reason to go.
I was surprised you stuck around
Long enough to figure out

That it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.

And now all my loves that come back to haunt me.
My regrets and texts sent to taunt me.
I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand
I've given everyone I know
A good reason to go.
But I came back with the belief
That everyone I love is gonna leave me.

And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.
And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all all

And I know, ohh nooo,
You've fallen from the sun.
Crashing through the clouds.
I see you burning out.
And I know, ohh nooo,
That I put up a front
But maybe, just this once,
Let me keep this one.

And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.
And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright.
And it's all alright
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
But it's all alright...

I’m standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I can’t help but look thinking that everyone doesn’t get it
To my left is a window, where did I go
My reflection just blends in to rows of coal
And bad ideas, but ideas none the less, and so

I’ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I’ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night
And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside
I’ve got friends locked in boxes, that’s no way to live
What you calling a sin, isn’t up to them
Afterall, afterall I thought we were all your children
But I will die for my own sins, thanks a lot
We’ll rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all
So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now

I’ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I’ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
I am over twenty-five
And I can’t make a name for myself
Some nights I break down and cry
Lucky that my father’s still alive
He’s been fighting all his life
And if this is all I’ve ever known
Then may he so live on forever
In my song

I’ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I’ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don’t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

In front of the other one
In front of the other one
Just a better place to die

Growing old is getting old
I often find myself here thinking
About the birds, the boats, and past loves that flew away or started sinking
And it's crazy here without you
I used to think this all was ours
We'd stay up late, debate on how we'd find our way
Say it's all up in the stars

Some nights I rule the world
With bar lights and pretty girls
But most nights I stay straight and think about my mom
Oh god, I miss her so much

And there are people on the street
They're coming up to me
They're telling me that they like what I do now
And so I tried my best when I took the fall
To get right back up, back in your arms
If you're out here why do I miss you so much

I feel like I had it all
Back before I lost it all
Now I just wait for you to talk to me
But you won't even look at me, baby

And I'd be saying that you
You're always holding on to stars
I think they're better from afar
Cause no one is gonna save us

Oh, and me
Well, I have faded in the dark
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
Why can't you see that no one's gonna save us?
Oh, come on girl

I just need a helping hand
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
It never came true
It came true
It never came true

Oh, and you
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
Cause no one is gonna save us

Oh, and you
You're always holding on to stars
I think they're better from afar
Because no one is gonna save us

Oh, and me
I have faded in the dark
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
Why can't you see that no one's gonna save us?
No one's gonna save us
No one's gonna save me now

No, no, no
No, no, no
No one's gonna save us
Who we are, who we are
Who you are, who you are
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars
You're always holding on to stars

I set all my regrets on fire

Cause I know I’ll never take the time
To unpack my missteps and call all of my friends,
I figure they would take your side.
I make the bed, just not that well.
Your name comes up a lot when I talk to my mom,
Oh I think she can tell…

I was out on the town so I came to your window last night.
I tried not to throw stones, but I wanted to come inside.
Now I’m causing a scene thinking you need a reason to smile.
Oh, no. What have I done?
There’s no one to keep me warm.

So maybe I should put out the fire,
I’ll call them back and borrow a box knife
So I could learn to live with all the stupid shit I’ve been doing since ‘99
And I know I could be more clever,
And I know I could be more strong.
But I’m waiting for the day to come back and say,
Hey, maybe I should change my mind.
I drink a lot, I’m not sure if that’s new.
But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot,
I just wish that it never came true

I was out on the town so I came to your window last night.
I tried not to throw stones, but I wanted to come inside.
Now I’m causing a scene thinking you need a reason to smile.
Oh, no. What have I done?
There’s no one to keep me warm.

I could be more clever,
And I know I could be more strong,
And I know I could be more clever,
And I know I could be more clever

I knew there’d come a day,
When all was said and done,
And everything I want is everything but gone
All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall.
The bottles never break, the sun will never come
So come on let me in.
I will be the sun.
I will wake you up.
I’ll move slow.
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart.

I was out on the town so I came to your window last night.
I tried not to throw stones, but I wanted to come inside.
Now I’m causing a scene thinking you need a reason to smile.
Oh, no. What have I done?
There’s no one to keep me warm.
