I had it all together, heavy on my mind
I had it all together, but I left it all behind
Didn't see you coming, coming down the line
Traffic in the atmosphere, so tense that you smile
Lessons I'm learning, breaking forth in time
Coming up high again, opening my mind
I have been holding it down long as I could
I remember, you know the only thing I have to bend it upon has been me
Oh well, but I like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door
City runs in springtime, before begins at night
My hips are moving forward, I come from a long line
Reckless, deep abandon, streets ain't open wide
I thought I wasn't ready, I was ready all the time
I have been holding it down long as I could remember
You know the only thing I have to bend it upon has been me
Oh well, but I like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door
City runs in springtime, before begins at night
I have been holding it down long as I could remember

I remember, you know the only thing I have to bend it upon has been me
Oh well, but I like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I'm taking a plane and a car straight to your door
City runs in springtime, before begins at night
I have been holding it down long as I could remember
You know the only thing I have to bend it upon has been me
Oh well, but I like to rest on the shore


But I'd like to live in your mind
You're the intelligent kind
And I'm taking a plane and a car
Straight to your door
I have been holding down on this
You know the only thing I have
To bend it up on has been holding
Oh well, but I'd like to rest on the shore
Before I go back and do more
And I'm taking a plane and a car
Straight to your door
