lyrics

I used to wonder why my olders hearts were colder than mine
Hard to define rubbing shoulders with one of a kinds
Now I’m grown the unknowns become part of the show
Slight blow to the bit below the belt
(Too low, too low!)
Dabble in fear pain unravels more each year
Life offers promise one day
Then the slate becomes clear
Now I’m drenched in fear
All ears to the words thrown my way
Commanding my heart stays
Cut a joint with LA
Give a minute of my time to the melee of love
Shoot a roll with AD
Give double that time to who they pray to above
Leave my soul untouched
Hold no grudge against a brother when he’s calling my bluff
I’ve got time to adjust
Tell ‘em it’s fine to dust
These bruises on my body are signs I been played in the rough
Leave these vices alone
Beg you pick up the phone
Question God and he says the answers will remain unknown, man

Find us rubbing shoulders
With those held by the flame
Our older hearts they leave no trace
Of warmth I’m trying to forget that pain
I’m still chasing the shadows of those I’m yet to face

Yeah
I need time to vacate
Streams of thought leave my mind and find their way to a place
That offers more to confide in than I could ever maintain
Refrain from sleep whenever my fate is at stake
Adding more to my plate
Teased with a taste of the life I wished for
Wishful thinking to believe I got it all
Too soon to claim I’m a great
But I’d say it’s worth the stake
Worth the hate I’ll receive for when I’m receiving more than a taste
Cut a cheque to jack
Give a slice of my time to making it back
Grab advice from Jas
Our bond provides love that lasts
Embrace love that’s passed
It’s like I’m caught in the draft between cries and laughs, man
Plan for days and God laughs in your face
Leaves time up in the air before it dashes away
Bathe in the pain
Bring trouble to tea and never finish your plate
Take the bait
And you’ll remain forever stuck in your ways

Bathe in the pain
Bring trouble to tea and never finish your plate
Take the bait
And you’ll remain forever stuck in your ways, man
Stuck in your ways
You’re stuck in your ways

Find us rubbing shoulders
With those held by the flame
Our older hearts they leave no trace
Of warmth I’m trying to forget that pain
I’m still chasing the shadows of those I’m yet to face
