lyrics

[Intro]

I don’t wanna bring you down,
bring you down.
I don’t wanna bring you down,
bring you down.
I don’t wanna bring you down,
bring you down.
No, but I think I better go.

[Verse One]

This girl looks straight into my eyes
I glance down at the ground and past her thighs
she smart but ain’t even 25.
Oh why? Do it all gotta look so dangerous?
Somethin’ blood thirsty about the way she moves her lips
so I play it swift and refuse to flinch. (4)
She too blind the spy all the evidence
cuz its evident that you are on my mind.
Sittin here waitin for the mist to fall down from this drowsy sky.
My-my she bats her eye-eyes
but don’t wanna know a dam thing about your ghost runnin
through my body like water In a pipeline, (4)

Whoa, Torrential soul, thunder clap and rollin on this road.
Listenin’ to a trombone moan next to the sound my hearts percussive tone.
And I miss your soul, oh

This pretty young thing
right in front of me
feel like a pretty numb dream
recurring (4)

She say’s Myrlin,
“you’re so beautiful.
You’re so beautiful.
You’re so beautiful.

I say that’s a hard thing to live up to
but what can I do but sing my blues? (4)

[Chorus: Avery Murphy]

Please don’t let me go.
Please don’t let me go.
Please don’t let me go.
Please don’t let me go.

You can’t simply hide our dream in the blue.
You can’t simply hide our dream in the blue.

[Verse Two]

Mayday no eject button up in this cockpit.
This airplane in my memory keep on pit stoppin’.
Hovering past memories where we used to talk and vibe.
Oh why, once its all ending only thing that comes to mind are the good times? (4)

Meanwhile, this girl in front of me keeps on talkin’
She move her hips like puma stalkin’
I close my eyes coffins.
My mind keeps on walkin’ out the door.

Cuz the one I love don’t love me no more.
My heart soar,

So I’m driftin’ through the valley.
Standin up in this alley.
Pissin next to a homeless man that think he knows about me.
Feelin’ so dam lousy.
My vision so dam cloudy.
When the old man asks what your name is I speak it like I’m drowning (4)

Mayday crash landin’ again
On the dance floor of a wedding reception.
My hands woven against your mid section.
Treating you like a blessin’.
People watchin as we cumbia, banda, non stopin.
True love expressed in our reflections
Now its endin’ And I’m looking for the life lesson.

[Chorus: Avery Murphy]

Please don’t let me go.
Please don’t let me go.
Please don’t let me go.
Please don’t let me go.

You can’t simply hide our dream in the blue.
You can’t simply hide our dream in the blue.



[Verse Three]

This girl in front of me walks out the door.
I say goodnight but I mean good-bye,
but I wave and sigh and then say no more.

And I can’t ignore that she aint basic.
If you can’t see this girl in front of me is full of life, love, and radiance
you must need (4) lassic kid.

But the truth is,
You can’t replace the one you love with no one.
No type of buzz or drugs
Can replace the feeling you gave.

Oh yes, I wake up some days
And I swear I smell you next to face
but your gone the moment I become wide awake (4) I ache in pain.

I’m Living in a dark room, Yeah I know it’s a dark room
but the most striking photographs develop in dark rooms
Riding my bike home humming this dark tune like uh oh its about to be dark soon.

I just want to dream a dream
I just want to dream of you
Last night I saw you in the blue

You cupped a honey bee in your hand softly
Then you said to me,
We pollinate in dream
But we hold on too tight, in one fight we crush the bee and then feel the sting
I wake up to this beat on repeat
My eyelids shutter like cameras and insect wings

Who else goin love me like you with me?
Who else goin love us like you and me?
Who else goin love me?
Who else goin love me like… you?

And you know…

[Avery Murphy]

And if what we had
Haunts me like ghost
I know that pain is sad
But transforms the soul.

And I know I’m clean.
And I know I’m clean .

Baptize by you
In my messy room
As I sing my blues
Cuz I still believe.

And I wish you love
Yes I wish you hope
And I wish you peace
But you already know.

So let it wash away
Yeah let it fade away
and it will all make sense
as I reach my grave.

Baptized by you
In my messy room
As I sing my blues
Cuz I still believe.
