Instead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I never said I love you if you want me to

But then that was the most I ever said to you

I never thought I’d be conflicted with my aspirations

Allegations only thing keeping me far away from you

I may not be able to see the forest for the trees

Renovations of the super seams

Tried to crack em and they couldn’t breathe

I can’t handle any make believe

Hazy trees and shady dreams

Singing til I’m heard and visually they will see

Put in effort into calling it I couldn't leave

And that’s the time for them to just fuckin listen and breathe

Ain't no fuckery I’m going back to Tel Aviv

(Tel aviv)

Iet me get drunk in my villa

Mixing ice with my sprite

Coldest nights they been over for a while

They don’t wanna see me do it they don’t wanna see me fight

They don’t wanna see me climb so imma show em what it do

Im'a show em who the real one in the lime light

They gon' see me when the time flies

Thinking lesser when the times right

Will only pay off with my late nights

Yeah

Life, in the place by the lake in the house where I lay my head

Time movin fast outside but I'd rather just stay in bed

Head in the clouds by the Sun where it rains but can't get me down

When I commence maybe I'd like to work but I'll dream instead

This that new shit you been requesting for months and shit

This that passing up the blunts when you been puffin that’s it

When I see you you’re just the perfect one hopping into the whip w funs

Never going back to California with the Sun yeah yeah

Because I like to wear my coat out singing 'til my throat can’t Bear to let another note out, yeah

And I been swung within a period of time

Collecting up my thoughts and letting out within the rhymes

Thats just the way that it goes

The way I taught myself to get my shit outside of the doors

But just to think where I could be when I’ll be cruising on tour

Instead of staying in my house by the lake in my bed lets just

Go to the place in the clouds where it rains that it can’t get me down

No that can’t get me down

One day they’ll say to me: Roy just come around

And I’ll be far away and livid

They’ll regret and I’ll be livin

Life, in the place by the lake in the house where I lay my head

Time movin fast outside but I'd rather just stay in bed

Head in the clouds by the Sun where it rains but can't get me down

When I commence maybe I'd like to work but I'll dream instead
