Crazy Ideas
03:30

I never put my hair back even when the wind blows it in my face
I never stop going even if I don’t know if I’m going the right way, oh
I never stop looking, I never stop cooking up crazy ideas
I always give up my whole heart on the very first hello
I always leap recklessly, never look out for what’s below, oh
I always feel hurried, I always feel worried I’m running out of crazy ideas
But sometimes I wish I could step out of my skin
Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in
Stay in one place for a minute,
Let myself just live in it,
Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround
Let myself be found
I met you in the summertime and I could barely find words to say
You were like wind and you blew out my fire in just the right way, oh
You made me nervous, took all my courage and my crazy ideas
I started to stop and look at all I hadn’t seen
I started to notice the blues, the purple, red, and green, oh
You saw me clearly, loved me so fiercely and gave me your crazy ideas
Maybe it’s time now to step out of my skin
Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in
Stay in one place for a minute,
Let myself just live in it,
Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround,
Let myself be found
There’s a road that I was traveling that was bound to end somewhere
Wasn’t easy to drive with the sun in my eyes and the wind in my hair
I was tired of racing and tired of chasing some old, weathered dream
I was running out of steam
Feels like I’m ready to step out of my skin
Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in
Stay in one place for a minute,
Let myself just live in it,
Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround,
Let myself be found

In another world we haven’t met
In another I’ve not found you yet
Time is elusive
Time we confuse with boulders in a stream
Frozen in the breeze
Time can move with ease
Love is infinitely plausible
Time is wild and irresponsible
Love covers oceans
Time faking motion
Love is like a dream
Time is in between
Let’s flow back upstream
When in the morning I see you
Infinite versions of our love come true
Moonlight is shining and somewhere it’s noon
But I’m in my time with you
And we walk our path like travelers
Time attempting to unravel us
Here as I hold you
Time may unfold you
Slipping through my hands
Try to catch the sand
Time has other plans
When in the darkness I see you
Infinite versions of our love come true
Sunlight is shining on a crescent moon
But I’m in my time with you
When in this moment I see you
Infinite versions of our love come true
Maybe each new day isn’t really new
We say it’s a lifetime then we say time flew
Maybe the end of time is overdue
But I’m in my time with you

Excuse... You

Nothing that you’ve done to me makes sense
I said “no” and you’ve been tryna hop my fence
That was an hour ago, you’re still my present tense
Ugh, men.
You’re like a child, I know you think that I’m your toy
You’re coming at me like a whiny little boy
You’re getting angry ‘cause you think I’m being coy
I’m not playing games, gonna start taking names
You think I’m yours to claim but now I’m just annoyed
Excuse...you, excuse you
I do what I want to, so excuse you
Now I’ve spent half my night fending off your advances
Funneling free drinks my way, how romantic
Why can’t you see that you ruined your chances
On the floor with your white boy dances
You’re tryna buy me with libations
Maybe ‘cause I got a reputation
Well fuck that noise! I’m my own creation
I don’t owe you shit
You can’t have all of this for a gin and tonic
Here’s what I say to your expectations:
Excuse...you, excuse you
I do what I want to, so excuse you
Excuse...you, excuse you
I do what I want to, so excuse you
I go to the ladies’, fix my hair
And you can bet there’s seven other women there
One of ‘em’s sayin some guy won’t leave her alone
Another says that some guy followed her home
I tell ‘em I got one on my ass
He’s been buying me drinks, they say “least he’s got class”
I say, “Sisters, I don’t know what we’re gonna do,”
And they all say, “me too.”
So we storm the bar and we all say
Excuse...you, excuse you
We do what we want to, so excuse you
Excuse...you, excuse you
We do what we want to, so excuse you
