Lyrics
Walked past that house party two times already
Passing by a house party repeatedly
Heard all the dogs barking trying to walk steady
Hearing dogs barking, struggling to walk steadily
Ran down this road yesterday in the sunshine
Recalling running down a road in the sunshine the previous day
But now I can't even see with the streetlights
Current difficulty seeing due to streetlights
When I was here last I drove by with Sophie
Having driven by the location with someone named Sophie before
Rolled down the windows, we were in the city
Remembering a moment in the city with rolled-down windows
She asked politely if I had a lighter
Sophie politely asking for a lighter
I told her likely then lit it afire
Confirming possession of a lighter and igniting something
I couldn't tell you in words how I'm feeling
Expressing difficulty articulating current emotions
Maybe what I need's a good proper healing
Considering the need for genuine healing
Spend most of my nights staring at the ceiling
Spending nights contemplating life while staring at the ceiling
Tried all that God stuff but I stopped believing
Trying religious faith but losing belief
Went back to Maryland I walked with my momma
Returning to Maryland, walking with mom to escape drama
Down to the water to escape the drama
Going to the water to find solace
Got on this speedboat with my friend Terisa
Boarding a speedboat with a friend named Terisa
Oh, Nana Yaa, it was so nice to see ya
Greeting someone named Nana Yaa warmly
The burn of a cigarette with a good good friend
Sharing a burn from a cigarette with a close friend
It made me forget
Forgetting troubles momentarily
That all of the time I spent tryna make amends was an accident
Realizing that efforts to make amends were unintentional
I open the cabinet where the thoughts all sit
Opening a mental cabinet where thoughts reside
I acknowledge it
Acknowledging thoughts without dwelling
To try not to miss it I take it step by step
Taking life step by step to avoid missing moments
I guess this is life
Reflecting on life with a repeated acknowledgment that "this is life"
I guess this is life
-I guess this is life
-I guess this is life
