Crack a joke

Whisper in my ear

Sweet nothings you hold dear

Light a smoke

Random thoughts

Keep flitting through my head

I watch the room instead

And start to choke

 

Woah, they’re talking in rhyme

My consciousness climbs

You pull me back as I start to peak

Forever watching over me

 

For heaven’s sake

I lead you here and there

Give you daily scares

And when I wake

At 3 a.m.

Your fingers through my hair

Becalm the raging air

Apply the brakes

 

Woah, I’m talking in rhyme

My consciousness climbs

You pull me back as I start to peak

Forever watching over me

 

Can’t say I’m right

Can’t say I’m wrong

I crave the madness of our song

Their feeding frenzy as they throng

At closing time where we belong

I’ll grab this future by the throat

Although the chances are remote

Lift you with me when I float

Raising higher with every note

Until I’m watching over me

 

Woah, I’m talking in rhyme

My consciousness climbs

You pull me back as I start to peak

Forever watching over me
