lyrics

Intro- B
Cuz ya can't see stars in the rain.
She stand alone, crowded room
And no one even seems to notice

BV1-
To dance to the rhythm of ya breath
now I'm steady in a place where the footprints fresh
the next few words to the rest of my life
a how ya doing, is hardly gone suffice
so I writes this live and directly

HV1-
Now I'm intrigued
smiling at the way you place your silhouette
a window yet a vault
you're a safe, I'm a crook
a little lift a joke and then I wait for your reaction
our interaction pleasantly personified our traction
a chemical contraption smiling swooning at your action
a sedative of sorts calling, calming my attraction
no longer single, no longer on my mingle
honest since I met you and my social scene is
see two peas on a pod
on the rise feeling free
tap dancing on your heart
buzzing working like a bee


CH- B and Kenj Doja
Beautiful people
you know we are
we're growing stars
in unity
that's you and me

BV2-
Dive in let it bleed again
Inhale it ‘till the air get thin
don't slow down
breeze it through the light
'till the answer to how many times u done it twice what u recite
we, still up, still up
like ya 200 proof
dumpin out ya beakers
fill it with ya youth squeeze the juice from ya sneakas
detach and let it all go
just remember, ya better hit ya free throws
yeah, and never take a knee
if ya get both hands on the ball, its a gimme
himm a Im a lay a
take ya outta space bass camp to the glacier
breath upon the summit
then slide it down the crater
ha ha, something beautiful

CH- B and Kenj Doja
Beautiful people
you know we are
we're growing stars
in unity
that's you and me

HV2-
What does it take
where is she from
how do I call
now I feel numb
feel in my throat
can't even talk
tell me she looked
why did she stop
I look in her eyes
never seen sun
never so close
why did I run
tell me it's me
tell me you want me
tell me it's me
why did you run

headboards, remember when we damaged 'em
wood floors, yeah we fixing up the old place
back yards, and we almost gotta damn dog
where are you
don't even sweat it
I'm good here making friends
got my work and I work take a listen
I don't work late, I work later
so these crutches on my life at it's current state adds weight
translator who are you to drop anchor
I was there when you needed me I served as your waiter
order taker your significant crusader
as I gained my independence you resented me the greater
an hour later, sounds in a major
and these minor fights were outta line
outta sight, outta mind
but just as beautiful these days were long
way back when a day was just a song


CH- B and Kenj Doja
Beautiful people
you know we are
we're growing stars
in unity
that's you and me

Outro- B
Cuz ya can't see stars in the rain.
She stand alone, crowded room
And no one even seems to notice
