CRUSHED VELVET - Intellectual

[Intro:]

When my way gets a little cloudy

Your love is

My love and

And it's all cold and it's needy

Your love is

Your love, yeah

And it's all cold and it's needy

Yeah

No, I can't lie, man, I still miss those moments

I miss our 5 A.M chats at the back of the flats way, way back when we were homeless

But not for a single second hopeless

No Ford Motors, but baby you know you gave me drive and you kept me focused

Told me if I never take the dive how the parachute would probably never open

Shit, that's wise words my baby, well spoken

Or should I say, rather, well put together

See, there was nothing we couldn't face throughout all those days we were broke together

Now here I am under these strobe lights singing the same songs we wrote together

Like, tell me ain't it just funny how the time goes, huh?

Shit gets tough I don't mind though

I just get high, that's that mind blown

And I know that I'm not the playwright

And I know I'm only playing my role

And it is fate that orchestrates throughout these strengths that keep us tethered so I just walk this tightrope

Singing along to "Call the Line High Hope"

So used to the darkness I still walk with my eyes closed

But it's all cold and it's needy

Your love is, your love yeah

And it's all cold and it's needy

Your love is

My love and

And it's all cold and it's needy

Your love is, your love yeah

And it's all cold and it's needy

Yeah

When my way

-a little cloudy, mmhm

And my nights

Get a little rough

And lonely
