Will you find me when the summers all gone?
Or am I your summer thing?
I built a fire it can only burn so long, 
so tell me, Am I wasting my time?

Am I wastin'? [time, time, time]

All my dreams are so late,
no sense to my day,
so tell me why I even try?

I'm so down off my game,
if its bad news again, 
tell me that you'll tell me lies.

Cuz I, I know I got something you like,
I feel it burning inside,
Come take this ride,
We got the time,
Let me take you to the other side.
Whoah, are we all systems go?
Cuz I think that I might explode,
Been losing control,
I'll never make it alone.

So will you find me when the summers all gone?

Alright now, 
Can you help me along?
Tell me when I'm trippin' and I'm doing it wrong?
Tell me where you like it if you're diggin' the song?
Tell me I'm the only one you're keeping turned on?

Cuz I, I know I got something you like,
I feel it burning inside,
Come take this ride,
We got the time,
Let me take you to the other side.
Whoah, are we all systems go?
Cuz I think that I might explode,
Been losing control,
I'll never make it alone.

Anytime that Im gone hold me down
anytime that I'm runnin, runnin around
up late so i think I'm comin round,
girl you hold me down

flyin LA to MA, TSA to T
straight MBTA when Im on my to see, ya
Im saying words that I hear that you miss
a little precip. in the air thats the mist
west jet streams whip to east coast brisk
so we're floating on the fog coming off of my lips
even if I haven't seen ya since the seasons going
there's a reason that its warmer where the leaves aint growing
na ma don't leave, namaste with me
sipping the potent unzipping my mind open at least for me, for you
fates got flavor so savor what we do
when we're back in the same old space 
like in the basement, lights low, years past
bringing it back to those nights
we could be harking on the rose colored glass
but let's wear em in the dark


Maybe I’ve been gone too long
been moving on memory
look back forget the places I could never replace
road got us running
lucidity in place
reshape the world around me while I’m missing your phase

Its been a while since we’ve been round the moon can we keep going?
You said you love me but in fog I cannot see it showing
hitting your number just to test your dial tone
now the only time I’m feeling good vibrations on my phone

though I’m sure when I come your way
I’ll think of things that you wanna here me say
I’ll take you back to the very first day
tomorrows evening I’ll be leaving can’t stay

Pulling the strings on my perception
Until i get back on that connection

Hold Me Down

Show my hand before the roll
I don't do it for the taste
On the move, On the road,
In the mood, Outta state
Thats just how I feel
[This is the way, this is how]

Blow my cares into the wind
Don't count the daze,
Been outta state
Cuz on the roads been feeling home
I'm Kerouac and you can't relate
No turning back so just lay in wait
And when I'm through she lay awake
Asking me if its my time 
For watching new eyes dilate

So I hold my breath under water
I like to take it in slow
You've all been swimming in circles
I need a different bowl

Show my hand before the roll
I don't do it for the taste
On the move, On the road,
In the mood, Outta state
Thats just how I feel
[This is the way, this is how]

Now I'm not hiding my intentions
I just want all your attention
Cuz I can't forget the way it makes me feel
Hope I'm hittin' good on your inner ear fluid
On the windows down cruise,
Just let me take the wheel

And I'll hold your head under water
I'll let you take it in slow
You've got me swimming in circles
We need a different bowl

I twist a 40 while I'm staring at a pink sky
I pass it over you ain't got a chance to think why
And they say life is short but I've been alive
So we run and jump at high tide

Rooftop view like it's top of the Pru
City staring up cuz I'm falling for you
I'ma jump, float to the Cape
Rope a dope any boat in the way 
I'm swimming, round n round and Im looking for new beginnings
Don't rush with the brush pain't a picture be in it let's finish
Don't stay tethered to bitter, something sweeter's a little better
Perfect as a silhouette
It's the click of the twist, we're on the edge of a cliff
Bluffing or running off it,
It's time to pick pick pick pick

That's just what we do
Watch your waves break through
I wanna see you too

I twist a 40 while I'm staring at a pink sky
I pass it over you ain't got a chance to think why
And they say life is short but I've been alive
So we run and jump at high tide

Now the vibe is right
I'ma hit it all night
I been feeling alright
This is just my type of world
I wonder if we'll ever land
Now everything we've planned
Been falling into plan like
Things you can't even imagine
I sit back and watch 'em happen
If only you believe
Now watch what we can weave ya
Girl coming through we coming late
Do what we like no time to wait
Cuz life was made for living
Fuck forgiveness here's permission


High Tide

girl we could be going down with this fight
but you know whats on my mind
tonight losing sight of whats wrong and whats right so
come on over, come on over, come on over

hazy decision making
process isn't the best when
im dealing with the X and O's i let it fly
i let that mothafuckin text message go
prolly shoulda said something seven months ago
the bridge was burning but i never thought of jumping off
and now I'm lying, you're lying next to me
could turn our backs
but there'd be nothin left to leave

sometimes we back on 
sometimes we actin
sometimes we speak the facts only to retract em
but i know how we flip not sober
both say no
then make the trip over
there, and over here
I don't wanna overhear 
what you say when I'm not there
we could lie, we could try, or
we could forget about it all
till tomorrows light

Come on Over

Come On Over

I'll take all that ya got yo I mean it
I pick it roll it up and smoke it then repeat it
And I don't needa try it
I don't why ya still here
Cuz I'll be The Buyer

Like a finger in ya lip a bit my mind going numby
pulling out ya wallet that's a laugh for some money
tap it in my palm tree while i study
cuz the world got me feeling heady honey
fill the paper flick the bic n let it burn with ease
my chest is full i pay a cough for a bit of peace
a bit for you i brought a bit for me
get over to the spot we'll cop two more of these


But me & her don't puff and pass
we smoke and smash
then hit the kitchen like we broke a fast
like the last,
supper - I'm forrest with the trees
And when I got the green,
you know I got the green
So she twisted up a louisville
slugger - we had time to kill
smoked it till out fingertips
I think i'm flashing back to trips
Getting deep in bed, I couldn't leave this head
wondering why theres fools at work when you can sleep instead
Cuz I know how it goes,
rich man dance to the poor mans woes
so put that in your pipe and smoke it
hit so deep you thought your lungs were broken
round here we burn sequoias everyday
why ya think theres smog in L.A.?

The Buyer

Come with me girl,
I've seen the world
I want it all,
And you'll get half of everything

Well I've been overseas for days
I've been drinking lemonade in the shade
Just watch what my hands made
I've been thinking you and me could do better things
Me on top of you would make my motherfuckin day
I have seen your eyes glimmer better than the sea
I've seen that booty quake I want it quaking next to me
Those titties look soft, tell me are they real
Fuck it tell me later I'll just grab myself a feel

Come with me girl,
I've seen the world
I want it all,
And you'll get half of everything

Come with me girl, 
Diamonds and pearls,
I want it all,
And you'll get half of everything

Matt Maratea:
That booty so round, 
She cancelling plans when I come into town
I'm back on the road and she holding it down
Wait up by my throne you'll get half of this crown
I travel this world and find love in it
She always changing the subject
Lately I feel like we fuck for the fuck of it
Damn little momma I'm happy I found you my god, my god
Came through riding round the city breeze past thank god I got the top low
Now I want it all from the boats to the cars got me feeling like Pablo
Off of my dock, work for myself so I'm off of the clock
Working too hard she gon tell me relax
Come with me girl and I'll let this weed pass, come with me now

Just cruising with the windows rolled down
Breeze in my hair, head in the cloud
Stars in the air
You can’t tell me nothing
I got no problems, only sinning

Windows rolled down,
Song to the air, wheel off the ground
Eyes on a stare
You can’t tell me nothing
I got no problems, only sinning

Don’t leave me hanging I’ve been hanging for you even more
You always leave the conversation via slam of door
Your thoughts are lying while you’re lying next to me in bed
You ask me slowly to repeat every word that I’ve said
I’m sorry that a lapse in reason led to gaps in time
I owe you more but I’m too poor I’ll get you in this life
It’s way too late to change bad cards you dealt and hands I played
I need to thank you for the brightest things had ever been
So I’d like to thank you for the brightest it had ever been

Just cruising with the windows rolled down
Breeze in my hair, head in the cloud
Stars in the air
You can’t tell me nothing
I got no problems, only sinning

Windows rolled down,
Song to the air, wheel off the ground
Eyes on a stare
You can’t tell me nothing
I got no problems, only sinning

Now it’s been too long and that was the last time
You never call me, feel like a landline
Feel like a lost dog, hit by a landmine
Feel like a zanny and vodka for old times 
Sake
Make no mistake, I had a heart you had to break
You called it love, I called it fate
Wait

Sunshines out to get me, I deserve to fall
Then later on you told me, I was your one and only
Can’t get back, can’t get back, can’t get back at all
Why you gotta be so phony?
Why you gotta leave me lonely?

Just cruising with the windows rolled down
Breeze in my hair, head in the cloud
Stars in the air
You can’t tell me nothing
I got no problems, only sinning

Windows rolled down,
Song to the air, wheel off the ground
Eyes on a stare
You can’t tell me nothing
I got no problems, only sinning

Said I got no problems

When you met me I was young
When you left me I was much older
Then the world had just begun
Now the whole thing seems much colder

I’ve been drunk since 21
Least thats what my I.D. said
Getting by was so much fun
Still getting fucked on the weekends

Cuz I’ve been thinking about all the things you wanted in life
And I’ve been thinking about all the things you said
And I would take you back in a minute
Yeah I would take you back in a minute

When I met you I was dumb
When I left you I was much bolder
Then my world just came undone
Now the whole thing hurts my shoulder

I’ve been burnt from too much sun
Least I’ve got 1 or 2 friends
Left high and dry I’ve won
Still getting fucked on the weekends

Cuz I’ve been thinking about all the things you wanted in life
And I’ve been thinking about all the things you said
And I would take you back in a minute
Yeah I would take you back in a minute

Cuz I’ve been thinking about all the things you wanted in life
And I’ve been thinking about all the things you said
And I would take you back in a minute
Yeah I would take you back in a minute

Never gonna hold your hand
Never gonna wave goodbye
Never tried to hold my hand
Never shed a tear to cry
Never gonna hold my hand
Never gonna open wide
I’ve been hiding out all day
I’m just breaking down inside

Never gonna let me
Cuz I’m never gonna let you
