For A Little While

(álbum: The Fire Plays - 2012)

Its the same it's the same scene playing
Playing out all around you
One hand tucked in a blue jean pocket
One lace tied on two torn shoes
Holding out, holding out hope that someone will cramp your style

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
Could I, could I get to know you for

It's the light, its the stoplight cooking
Cooking dreams up inside you
Feet are tapping a tired rhythm
Sweat still blacking your old blues
Holding on to some set of rules
You're dying to leave behind

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?

All day long, scheming up ways
To lift yourself off the ground
All day long, for goodness sake
Doesn't it bring you down?
So I, I think we should go

Thin green papers are stacked together
In a big hollow mountain
All too easy to stack them higher
Till there's no one around well
I wanna go, where nobody cares for building a bigger pile

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
