Yeah
It's gotten to that time of year
The one I maybe like the most
Always feels like I'm in control of my life again
You know what I'm saying
Things are getting quieter
Less sensory overload and shit
The eyes can rest more
And living out here it feels like sometimes
Just sometimes
I can feel a bit the way I did two years ago
Life is kinda beautiful
Things feel exciting again, I don't know
Got a lot to do but want to do it, you know
Yeah
Pink light loft parties with TisaKorean"Backseat" playing
They never leave shit on for more than 30 seconds
Second roof recently where I could see it all
Like I could place who I wanted next to me
Pigeons flocking around the old pharmacy as sunsets get earlier
The kitchen smells bring me to other countries I been to
The feels you only get when the skin starts to get the cold wind
And lushness gets overtaken by a pale hue
The sun been giving us days to hold onto late in the year
Feeling almost transcendent for the first time in ages
Labi Siffre telling me I'm back in the fight
And I'm just tryna stay awake til my turn hits
Old ass bus parked 'cross the street the other night
I wonder what the f*ck it was
Felt like they time travelled through a century
To get to spying on us
And if the course stays true
In the future that might be the case
Thursday dusk walks that's always where I'm at
The first time every week the city feels like the city it is to me
On Hallow Eve the tone kinda shifted again
But I'll keep my core strong this time
I promise you'll see
Mercury Lounge last month felt like watching a devil's seance
Could almost see bills and gloss and eyes fixed on the profit
We gotta switch shit up, I know that you saw it too
The simmering starting to get to something bigger, yeah
I can smell it in the air, the one who you ain't heard yet
I tell Teddy give it five and I promise
Mirage is where no one else is at
Goin back to the stories from the home that made me first though
Then I'll be ready to come and claim the now
Long Island City night now looking like a dream
After that Greenpoint walk was floating in a different state
She's out there right now and I'm in here
I'll bring you in to see it with me
But for a bit longer you just gotta wait
I'm seeing lives I've known for long start to take one of two courses
And it's kinda hard to watch some people go down one of the two paths
Just stay in touch as long as you need, I'll keep my hopes up for you
And I ain't gon' say it's only you, I've gotta grow too
I'll be sliding in for real soon enough though
We writing off chapters and burning some bridges
And then it's up, yeah
This time I'm for real
