0% Interest
(Jason Mraz & Ariel Quirolo)
Our friends on the front porch telling jokes and they swing
Swiftly towards happier times
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see the monsters
Rise
Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams living high on
Yesterday's lie
Talking to me about some 0% interest and how she got a better
Deal than the next guy
And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and
Looking down that long missouri highway your hair was longer
Then and now i remember
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet
Matches thru my miracle mile mind
You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but
Mine only brushes your soft surface
And somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips
Oh yes
So i cant speak to tell you of the months before i met you
And the way the truth it locked us right about the time after
The lightning shocked us
When we were young and missing
Round that small new england byway our lives they were sheltered
Then and i now i remember
Well its not even being about that anymore i gotta get you down
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
Unchanged when its not the same beginning
Or along awaited end.. if i knew all the words i would write
Myself out of here
If i was all the colors i would paint you pretty in gold in a
Picture so i'm told little sister
So now i'm sold little sister why don't you tell me about the
Sunsets in sweden and the laws of eden
And how you were the rock of gibraltar and how they called you
Foxy
Well that's another whole box of pandoras, that's another whole
Box of them ties
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the
Median
It separates our house from the middle of the street.. talking
About our house
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly
Towards happier times
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster
Die.
We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough
And just so long.
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it
Long enough?
Is it long enough for me? long enough for me to chew on.
If it isn't.. if it is't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't
Then it wont.
