lOVERS OUT EAST

baby pardon me

I just keep remembering my lovers out east

Can you sense that?

babe next level heat

and they don’t wear a halo

I don’t know how they found me out there

not sure how they found me out there

because everybody lies

everybody’s in line

and everybody sees

your feelings overflowed so

out of concrete pulled a rose when

my plans foiled like a rose

where a thousand wasn’t even quite enough

gardenia all in the joint

it’s amazing how you can’t hear my voice, if the smoke would make it clearer

steering, your rear view

saw something that wont heal me now

who’d throw away all your high hopes?

and I couldn’t comprehend, so against

like pissing in the wind

you would hold my hand still

we would make it stand still

you would always come around

I swear you wouldn’t ever let me down

ah huh but I’m wrong

and she’s my lover out East

no one is competing no

some things might flee your hold

What is home to you?

No one can compare

I might hold her hand, she’d hold my hair in the bathroom

Why, did I think I had you?

Oh I loved all of it

Oh we lost all of it and

Took a one train up to our place

5 flights up to our space

Harlem tower girls

I was proud of you in that big world

Proud of you doing everything you had to do

Flights to Dubai and trips to the moon

I’d hold your hand still

Baby pardon me, I just keep remembering my lover out East

No one can compete

I just keep remembering my lover out East

Baby pardon me

I keep remembering my lover out east

You would always make my day

When I didn’t have shit to say
