[Verse 1]

Two 7s together

Like time, indefinite

Try'na catch the glass before it falls

Without a frown

Can you turn up the stereo?

I want to play you this old song, it's about love

Ha... can I do that?


[Verse 2]

Did we remember to water the plants today?

I forgot to look up at the moon, because

I was too busy

Said, I was too busy, I was too busy

Looking at you, babe

Still it's nice to know

That, uh – when bodies wear out

We can get another


[Verse 3]

What does that one thing have to do

With the other one?

Oh... I don't know

I was just thinking about my mother

You know what?

Turn the stereo back down

Ain't nothing worse than an old worn-out love song

Tell me do you like my hair this way?

Remember all the way back in the day

When we would compare whose afro was the roundest?


[Verse 4]

Mirrored tiles above the bed

Fishing nets and posters all over the wall, oh yeah

Sometimes, sometimes I just want to go sit out on the stoop

And, uh, play my guitar

Just watch all, all the cars go by
