High Tide Rising

Lyrics

High tide is rising Life is a movie, hope yours is exciting Even though the outcome of this film was tragic At least we made a classic Dealt a hand, rare as a pair of aces Testament to finding love in strange places Been almost a decade, a few hundred setlists I'm back to square one like I'm searching on Craigslist? I know you prolly don't miss me Loved me unconditional, I miss the way you kissed me Listened to me cry when the music bizness used to diss me Asked for so little and it was "Not now, I'm busy" Wish I could travel, back in a DeLorean Tryna find solace, meditating like Gregorians Future me is the only dude I'd prolly listen to If he'd articulate the empty feeling I have missing you I wish you could have met my nephew, Rand Alexander Kids' smart as hell, I even changed a few pampers You'da laughed at me fumbling, bout to throw up Peter Pan Syndrome, I don't want to grow up I never took lessons to engineer on Logic And I don't learn lessons from good sense and logic I only learn a lesson by falling down a staircase Only see the bigger picture looking down from an airplane I used to have a princess I used to have a wifey but now there's just a distance Cuz I don't operate at a pace you can measure You dealt with my bullshit with grace under pressure Held me down when your fridge held my only cheddar No excuses, I was old enough to know better It seemed to always rain each time we were together ...Never once complained about the weather You would cook me talapia With couscous and veggies, I'd lick on your labia After dinner, dead broke, felt like a winner Pretty in the summer, you were stunning in the winter The Ginger Rogers to Jake's Fred Astaire Ginger Loves Rocco, the Steamboat to my Flair Not an expert on wrestling, but you'd still get the reference Stimulate my brain and my sexual preference Perpetual breakups & reconciliations If I could take it back, I'd make you dinner reservations Try to be the man you need, no more reservations Said I love you in the kitchen, you looked at me strangely All them jokes on Twitter bout having 9 wives Thought I had a second chance, but I'd exhausted 9 lives Played it off for a while with movie nights and great sex I just wish you'd had the decency to send a "Dear Jake" text I know I dropped the ball, I should have sent my letter sooner Fuck that, I should have said it to your face You left my bed 3 weeks ago with tears down your face Find out with the world you got a man on Face...book That was dead ass wrong, and you know it Bullet through my ventricle trying not to show it Recycling our dates I never took a girl to... ...was our spot, my heart's pounding thru me, yo Try to move on, but save your pics on occasion But if you could see the films that play in my imagination Every time you get tagged by your dude in a pic That's what happens having 17 mutual friends Thanks to Instagram's algorithms An automated robot tells me how you're living I gotta stop the madness, but I can't look away It's what I get for every time my only lover felt betrayed Certain shit wasn't worth it The best part of all is realizing you deserve it Since then I tried hard to be a better person My grandma asked about you as her condition worsens Memories clear as day, my life lost the light in it Of course I got options, but I'm really not excited, shit Trust me I debated even writing this Hesitant to pick at old wounds while I'm typing this But speaking out my troubles in public is how I cope A genius still fucks up, give a man enough rope Doubt I'll get ever get chance to make it right, we'll see But if I ever do, Atlantic City's on me High tide is rising Life is a movie, hope yours is exciting Even though the outcome of this film was tragic At least we made a classic
