I was handed the key to happiness
My fingers bled cuz I held it in my fist
It was clenched up too tight
I just want a pen to write
To express why I went left
Had to run, to protect, a false image
That ain't even me, f*ck it I'll tell the truth
It's not always rosy, my cheeks be
Bitten by your cold
As your shoulders turn away from me I start to curse my own soul
Even though I know
Earth is a real heaven
And the greatness in you puts a 7 to my 7
Helping me fill up my heart
First one to blanket in the yard wins
I'm giving you a head start
Ready... Set... Go
Life can move fast, let's make tonight slow
I have the world to give you
I'm placing it in your hands
We're staying up tonight dreaming
Under the moon making plans
I have something to tell you
I'll whisper it while we dance
You wanted to taste this goodness
Aren't you glad you took the chance
I'm drinking the wine
You're smoking cigarettes
I told you girl that's gon' be your death
And then we both laughed
Off the irony of that
So let's live before we die
And let's smile while we cry
Cuz in the end when all the tears dry
Mortality will teach me that nothing is really mine
Not my family, not my friends
No riches, or the ends
No need to pretend
The possessions are security, seriously I hope you're hearing me
But on a lighter note
Let's brighten up the night
With our love, and what we rolled
Let's put our minds on the sunshine
While Marvin Gaye plays
And our energies combine
I have the world to give you
I'm placing it in your hands
We're staying up tonight dreaming
Under the moon making plans
I have something to tell you
I'll whisper it while we dance
You wanted to taste this goodness
Aren't you glad you took the chance
