I’m tired of walking down the asphalt
Something about it feels so wrong
No, I don’t care if it’s a shortcut
Motor oil smells so strong
I wanna take the long way home
With honeysuckle scattered along
I’m gonna keep that smoke out my face
‘Cause it don’t feel the same
How many times have I looked without looking?
So I finally put my camera away
I have to stop if I wanna see
I wanna really hear what you’re saying
I’m trying not to run from you
I wanna see you anew today
‘Cause hearing you through my lens
It don’t feel the same
No, I never had a good day
I never had a bad day
An old Chinese farmer told me
“It’s all just maybe”
But I do know one thing
It don’t feel the same
I ain’t gonna guild my excuses
‘Cause it don’t feel the same
I swore I’d retreat to my mountain
But it don’t feel the same
I stopped pouring ice on my emotions
‘Cause it don’t feel the same
I’m gonna face altars
Feel all support flowing
We can talk over the fence
We can slow down the pace
My name is not Wilson
I’m not afraid to show my face
But do me a favor, take me out of your box
I’m not that simple
Believe me, if I don’t know me, you don’t know me either
And please quit saying you’re not lyrical
I guarantee you there is wisdom flowing through you
You’re an eagle
Even the clumsiest, the most unfit, at your core underneath
You are regal
And if it’s any consolation, I don’t need you to impress me
With the meaning you derive from constellations
I don’t really care about them stars
I don’t know who’s in charge
I just step aside, move ink, and write bars at 1:00am
Oh damn, I just remembered last week was your birthday
I know I could stand to be a better friend
But at least I ain’t gonna stand here and pretend I could
Change the status quo while standing on tiptoes
Let me give you a proper intro:
I used to love my Space Jam Retros
But if there’s one throwback I ain’t gonna stick with
I never want to lie to kick it
‘Cause every time I squeeze on a pair of them kicks
It don’t feel the same
I tried finding fault in my reflection
But it don’t feel the same
I tried chasing down a prophet
But it don’t feel the same
I tried erasing an ocean
But it don’t feel the same, so
I’m gonna face altars
Feel all support flowing
Flowing through you and me
Something about it feels so wrong
No, I don’t care if it’s a shortcut
Motor oil smells so strong
I wanna take the long way home
With honeysuckle scattered along
I’m gonna keep that smoke out my face
‘Cause it don’t feel the same
