lyrics:
[verse 1: zamir]
ok busy busy my head is spinning
feel dizzy dizzy like ringaround 
ain't feelin rosy, wanna see the homies
but i'm leavin home i never stick around
always on the move, bags packed
grab snacks, fast track, lift off
but i crash fast, gas tank's 
ran past that last drip drop, like whew
need a day to just catch my breath
i'm feelin drained i wanna get some rest
sleep too long on these futons
but each new dawn i miss my bed
serious about commas
but a period's what i want, uh
really missin the calm of
full freedom missing all qualms, yuh

[bridge: zamir & planet girl]
as it turns out i'm gettin burnt out
yea yea yea yea, mmmm
not sure that this route will really work out
it's getting to my head

[prechorus: zamir]
a recess, to reassess
a furlough, to lay low 
some respite, to get by
so the workload, won't take hold, no
i don't, i don't, i don't 
want no takeoffs no no
i just, i just, i just 
need a day off woah woah

[chorus: planet girl]
i can feel it changing
as the days go by
my melodies are fading
they're running from my mind
inspiration will come and go
but once you burn it's so hard to grow
now i'm stuck here waiting
for just a little time for me to unwind

[verse 2: zamir]
red light green light red light green light
what my days all feel like
headlights beaming, they like he been
great but they don't realize
that i need a break, 
i need a moment to step on the brakes
cause i'm on the brink 
and i'm gonna break
all that i want is a lil vacation
i believe it's time for me to find
some peace of mind and redefine 
my dreams in life
and i'll be just fine just need some time 
to breathe and try to ease up, i'll 
be free and fly, yuh
frequent flier 
rackin up miles and i be so tired
need some fire
been lackin a smile
needa be inspired

[bridge: zamir & planet girl]
as it turns out i'm gettin burnt out
yea yea yea yea, mmmm
not sure that this route will really work out
it's getting to my head

[prechorus: zamir]
a recess, to reassess
a furlough, to lay low 
some respite, to get by
so the workload, won't take hold, no
i don't, i don't, i don't 
want no takeoffs no no
i just, i just, i just 
need a day off woah woah

[chorus: planet girl]
i can feel it changing
as the days go by
my melodies are fading
they're running from my mind
inspiration will come and go
but once you burn it's so hard to grow
now i'm stuck here waiting
for just a little time for me to unwind

[outro: zamir & planet girl]
i just wanna take all my time with it
fall into a place where my mind isn't 
i just wanna take all my time with it
fall into a place where my mind isn't

lyrics: 
[verse 1: zamir]
i wish that i could stop time, yeah
just to spend a moment with you
and make it last forever
and maybe then i'd never
have a chance to miss you, yeah
i wish that i could rewind
to back when i first met you
reliving every moment
keep the magic going
every second special, oh

i was never much of a talker 
but every second i spend in your presence it feels like clockwork
i'm awed at how i'm stuck in the present with such a present 
a gift that i'm blessed with got em all guessin at how he got her
like, you the type to look precious and make a jaw hurt the best dressed, impressive, impeccable, looking proper
i guess that's just what to expect, from someone special as you
making time stop when you step in the room, like

[chorus: chevy]
takin it so lightly
i know it don't seem timely
but we got all the time we need
cause when you're here it runs like clockwork, easy

takin it so lightly
i know it don't seem timely
but we got all the time we need
cause when you're here it runs like clockwork, easy

[verse 2: rosarrie]
stop, just a little more time
let me push all my feelings aside
gotta make sure i say it alright
don't wanna rewind
i know we'll be fine but
tell me where you wanna go 
and we'll be going
won't be no afternoons for us
the skies are golden
i wanna tell you how i feel
give me a moment
i'll have a couple dozen tries
until you're glowing
hey, just tell me why
why does it feel like i'm floating
and everything stops 
when i'm by your side
i got a way, a way to rewind
so i can relive in this moment
feels like i got nothing to hide

[chorus: chevy]
takin it so lightly
i know it don't seem timely
but we got all the time we need
cause when you're here it runs like clockwork, easy

takin it so lightly
i know it don't seem timely
but we got all the time we need
cause when you're here it runs like clockwork, easy

[guitar solo: park bird]

[outro: zamir]
it feels like clockwork baby

lyrics:
there are better days ahead now
i ain't got no worries
about what lies ahead now

and ahead of me
all i see are better days 
life was convoluted
had to set it straight
worried bout the future
and the yesterdays
but that was stupid
why not try to make the best today
yea, so i'ma try to do my best today
and that way every day will be a better day
on to better days

Lyrics:
[annotations at https://genius.com/Zamir-bunker-buddies-lyrics]
it's kinda hard to stay calm with all this talk of A-bombs
i can’t really ignore it what with Donald taunting K. Jong
and since nuclear war is now basically quite imminent 
i’m wondering if you’ll join me in this basement that i’m living in
it’s got accommodations, it’s amazing as a bunker
we can hunker down and face an Operation Rolling Thunder
i’m stacked on games in case we wanna play and never slumber
and got snacks for days so we don’t waste away from our hunger 
this is an exclusive invitation
only for the few I’d like to stay with if our days are ever numbered
as a human race, i mean our population was encumbering
this earth in any case, so in a way, this really may not be a bummer
a nuclear apocalypse,
when it’s over we can hunt for oxidants and fuel to take a rocket ship
to space, from the waste of a once beautiful metropolis
just stocking it with things that are useful like... umm... chocolates?

(or maybe oxygen would be smarter... ehh... actually i'll stick to chocolates)

and honestly, i’m not exactly sure what has me more scared
it’s kinda strange but i fear climate change as much as warfare
with oceans rising all the coasts will find themselves submerged 
and i don’t think the current government has shown enough concern
we’ve got researchers waving publications in dismay
as our leaders keep taking our nation to its grave
so when it comes time to find a place in which to stay
like I mentioned earlier, my bunker basement’s pretty safe
in a worst case scenario, an earthquake might bury you
but otherwise i’ve kept track of every single variable
if temperatures get crazy my AC will keep us very cool
if oceans rise we’re waterproofed, and i’ve got a tube 
that runs up out the room a couple hundred feet into the air
my neighbors think that i’m a kook, but there’s no being too prepared
so whether it gets hot out or we face nuclear fallout
if you hear this, for you i’ve got a few feet of room to spare

lyrics:
[chorus: chevy]
i'm on the move
can't stop me if you try
coasting on now baby
it's just me myself and i
cause i'm on the move
every step is by design
it's only up from here 
till the moment i die

[verse 1: zamir]
i been on the move
i never saw myself ever coming so far
taking small steps, i was tryina find my groove
yea i know that i was off to a really slow start
but now i’m, running running running 
never looking back i’m going towards where the sun is
even if it blinds me, i’ll find peace inside, 
keep my eyes on the prize till i’m holding it above me, but me 
yea, i’m not sure exactly what the future holds
all i know is mama told me i should always shoot for gold
and every time i’m worried i‘ll start losing hope
i’ll take one step at a time and find my way back to the road

[prechorus: zamir]
and i’ve been on this journey now
for way too long to turn around
the sun is out
so i’ll be on the move

[chorus: chevy]
i'm on the move
can't stop me if you try
coasting on now baby
it's just me myself and i
cause i'm on the move
every step is by design
it's only up from here 
till the moment i die

[verse 2: marc indigo]
i’m still chasing the happily ever after 
that’s at the end of my story i’m anxious to turn the chapter 
my yellow brick road is painted with gold (gold)
i’m gon’ have it all but trust I ain’t trading my soul (no)
and if I’m being honest, I was at the bottom took a lot of steps 
had a little trouble with my walking 
now I’m Wally west 
it’s obvious that nothings gonna slow me down 
little introvert but everybody know me now
it’s like, it’s getting kinda crazy how everything’s changing 
I hope I never lose myself 
moving so fast and, tryna maintain it 
hoping I can prove my self 
it’s been an uphill battle on the road less travelled 
but I know I can make it if I try

[prechorus: zamir]
and i’ve been on this journey now
for way too long to turn around
the sun is out
so i’ll be on the move

[chorus: chevy]
i'm on the move
can't stop me if you try
coasting on now baby
it's just me myself and i
cause i'm on the move

it's only up from here

i'm on the move

lyrics:
[intro: zamir]
it feels like every summer's getting hotter
so personally i like putting sugar in some water
in a pot until it heats up and makes syrup i can mix 
with some fresh lemon juice 
then i stir and take a sip like aaaah

[verse 1: zamir]
life gave me lemons so i made some lemonade with em
overcast weather had to wait for better days yeah i 
know the past bitter but of late i'm feeling great
now it's time to cool off
temperature was getting raised
head was getting too hot
i said i'm on the move
now i wanna move on
luck is on my side with you
nothing i can do wrong
nah nah mm
nothing like a new dawn
uh huh mm
got tired of the same old gray cold days
where i had to wear a raincoat, stayed so drained
all the time just wanted clear skies, sunshine
feel it nearby, had to wait for such a long time
unwind time to relax finna meditate
summertime, imma lean back, sippin lemonade
let's see, been a minute since i caught a break
now im stress free so i'm finna kick it everyday

[chorus: marc indigo and zamir]
i've got this warmth inside my soul
i hope i never let it go
i'm feeling better every day
now all i need is lemonade
and i feel summer in my bones
now everybody watch me glow
there's nothing more that i can say
all i need is lemonade

[bridge: marc indigo]
and i've waited for so long
so i can sing this song
i've waited for so long
to be where i belong

[verse 2: marc indigo]
sitting on the beach sipping on this lemonade, yeah
i'm just doin me i don't imitate, yeah
feeling so free i been liberated
letting go of words let em dissipate, yeah
lately i've been feeding off of sunshine
thinking bout life yo i love mine
you can catch me chilling catchin vibes up on cloud nine
finally i'm outside, yeah it's about time
so can you feel the heat cause i'm starting to
this is like a dream and it's coming true
hands on the wheel, what you wanna do?
well, where you wanna go? 
do you wanna ride? 
got no time to slow down cause it's summertime
so much to do i can't keep track
i still kick my feet up i need that
hope you can keep up
don't keep me waiting
the breeze and the sunshine
just feel so amazing, yeah

[chorus: marc indigo and zamir]
i've got this warmth inside my soul
i hope i never let it go
i'm feeling better every day
now all i need is lemonade
and i feel summer in my bones
now everybody watch me glow
there's nothing more that i can say
all i need is lemonade

LYRICS
[verse: zamir]
you be like bubble tea 
you're like a summer breeze
under trees
when i'm around you, uh

i wanna make you my own
youre always on my mind

you keep me up late yuh
you just a little bit cocky
that's in the best way yuh
there ain't no mimic or copy
you like a upgrade girl
why you be killing me softly   
giving me chest pain huh

[bridge: marc indigo]
i don't know just 
how i'm supposed to be showing 
you the way you make me feel inside
you're so close and 
yet distant and out of focus
thinking maybe i should close my eyes

[verse: zamir]
ok, waiting waiting for the right time
but i hesitate and let the clock tick
you keep radiating, as your light shines
i cant help it i'll be getting drawn in
on my moth wings, i'm exhausted
tryna fight against the way i feel now
maybe time for me to put my hands up
maybe i don't need to keep my heels down
i been running running from my heart
but you been up to something from the start, yeah
i know you're Eros with a bow and arrow 
from the way you tearing me apart, uh
pow pow pow
three words that i never thought you would've shot at me 
so i drink em in like some bubble tea 
yeah i think i'm in.. i'm in l-o-v-e

[verse: marc indigo]
ay, you so bubbly you so lovely wow 
got me tripping stumbling 
just come over i need your company now
found you oh so luckily 
warm heart but you ice cold 
gorgeous with my eyes closed 
hope i'm on the right road
don't know, dice roll but we on the move 
can't lose if i'm lost with you 
let's go got a lot to do 
let's go maybe i'm your dude 
said so to myself back when i met you 
and it's probably true 
stay around we can paint the town
'til we're falling down and exhausted fumes

[bridge: zamir]
it's like i'm filled up with coffee
you keep me up late yuh
you just a little bit cocky
that's in the best way yuh
there ain't no mimic or copy
you like a upgrade girl
why you be killing me softly   
giving me chest pain huh

[bridge: marc indigo]
i don't know just 
how i'm supposed to be showing 
you the way you make me feel inside
you're so close and 
yet distant and out of focus
thinking maybe i should close my eyes

[verse: marc indigo]
baby girl you're my bubble tea 
so i keep you safe this a bubble rap 
i know that i'm trouble but 
i clean my act up like a bubble bath
'nough of that, give me all your love 
i promise you that i can double that 
come with me and you ain't coming back 
never said i was a humble man 
but i can treat you right 
just turn my sour sweet tonight 
don't burst my bubble let me float 
up in the clouds and see the sky 
you shine so bright don't need the light 
i like to write about the way 
you wake me up and make me feel 
so happy happy every day like

[bridge: marc indigo]
i don't know just 
how i'm supposed to be showing 
you the way you make me feel inside
you're so close and 
yet distant and out of focus
thinking maybe i should close my eyes
