Love Is Da Shit
Say when you called me that night
To tell me that things
They weren't goin' alright
With your boyfriend
Was it me or did you just need somebody to talk to?
Said, is it you or the fact that I can't be near you
That keeps you in the front of my mind?
When your voice goes away
And a breath is the last thing that you say
But the warmth of your lips on my fingertips
It won't go away when I drop my head in my hands and play
The memory of that night in L.A.
Again and again and again
Because I can't think straight and I can't sleep late
The few times we shared I try to recreate
I know this is wrong better stop this talk
Because grass can grow up through a crack in the sidewalk
And what I see when I look in your eyes
Grass that's truly greenest and it's sprouting inside
I wasn't even looking when I realized
That you had the vibe that was my fertilizer
Thought that love in this world was dead and buried and gone
How could I be so cynical when I was so young?
You hit me in the chest like an 808 boom
I found love is the shit that makes life bloom
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
Never know when you might step in it (I said now)
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
And you never know when you might
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
Never know when you might step in it
(Love is the shit) love is the shit that makes life bloom
And you never know when you might
But fate is like a pigeon that follows me around
Sometimes he flies ahead and he brings me what he found (found)
Then he'll drop it on my head, leave me numb from the brain down
That's the way it was when I walked upon your ground
The irrepressible and impermissible
Are the two things that have made my life miserable
'Cause spirits don't leave if you don't talk about 'em
And memories come back when you don't think about 'em
I wish I had an ocean of some magic potion
I'd trade all this emotion for a few moments of motion
But I've never felt this way some things can't be rehearsed
Now I'm grindin' up my gearbox tryna find reverse, because
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
You never know when you might step in it (I said now)
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
And you never know when you might
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
You never know when you might step in it
(Love is the shit) love is the shit that makes life bloom
And you never know when you might
But I want to keep on walkin'
Right through
And let this feelin' rock me, oh-oh
Yes, I want to keep on walkin'
Right through love
And let this feelin' rock me, oh-oh-oh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You know fallin' in love is like easing into a hot tub (alright now)
It feels good on your feet
But by the time you get to your mid section
You know, you gonna get all the way in or all the way out (ouch)
The music brings me comfort in this grieving hour
The Sade tape tells me it's all over for now
I listen real hard but don't dare play it loud
'Cause I don't want to think what you might be doin' now
Sometimes it feels like a bad initiation
But you woke my heart from a long hibernation
You were worth every risk so I gave my heart room
And now I'm deep in the doo-doo that makes life bloom
'Cause love is the shit that makes life bloom
Never know when you might step in it (ooh)
Love is the shit that makes life bloom
You never know when you might (what you say now?)
That love is the shit that makes life bloom
You never know when you might step in it, now
(Love is the shit) love is the shit that makes life bloom
You never know when you might (oh no, you never know you'll step in it)
But I want to keep on walkin' (keep on walkin')
Right through
And let this feelin' rock me, oh-oh
Yes, I want to keep on walkin' (keep on walkin')
Right through love
And let this feelin' rock me, oh-oh-oh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
See the flowers bloomin' in the springtime
See the bees zoomin' in the sunshine
See the flowers bloomin' in the springtime
See the bees zoomin' in the sunshine
See the flowers bloomin' in the springtime
See the bees zoomin' in the sunshine
