Third Culture - sequoia Lyrics

The stars they be calling me up
Gotta drop your knees off
In the places you love where nobody gets drunk
And its every other day, looking for a way out

Where you been, no one asking, but I feel it all the same
Pushing back living lives and the feeling could escape
And they talking like they know me but
I aint even know me
Crib got the same homies that grew up round a tree
I'm branched out and the space that was filled once with leaves
Went bare and I stare so I know its gotta rain
But seasons change
Pray for reciprocal
Before I take the blame
Love a distance picture that I'm desperate to paint
If I lack a couple of colors would the image be the same
But I practice everyday its enough to go insane
Spent my time on the range
But I'm never John Wayne
Whats the use
I just wanna be the duke, getting paid
With a chokehold on your gaze and my fingers in your braids
How's the weather
Conversation goin rain man
White shirt white skirt got the name brand

I hoped
You would never let this go
So close
Still I f*cked up we can't grow
And I can't open up
Just read my mind
Don't give me hope
If you can't make it right

Lookin through our photos
I'm lost in the maybe
Reminiscing things
You ain't thought about lately
Lately, the sun don't shine
Our leaves they've gone dry
Dry

Last night I was tellin a friend
She was holdin my hand
I was holdin my breath
Yeah, yeah
Last night, I aint care to relax
Wanna sin so
All da way
And you aint even got, to go, away
To make me feel
Party all night, to make you sing
So baby how you feel
How you play back our memories
The late night of hennessey
The strobe lights, the dance lights, the fiend life of ketamine
You walk a lonely road inside your mind
Baby get high

I hoped
You would never let this go
So close
Still I f*cked up we can't grow
And I can't open up
Just read my mind
Don't give me hope
If you can't make it right
