Atlas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was stocking up on trail mix at the Walmart in Marina When she called me with the news I was standing in between the Pokémon posters and the check out lane Four years together, life would never be the same And I thought back to the day when the two of us met On a warm spring night at South by Southwest Rapper pen pals sending texts and poems 'Till we hugged on that day at SFO Moved back to Brooklyn left Marin For the win, two kids so in love that was when I cashed in my miles and took your mom back To New Zеaland, one of my favorite spots on the map In thе Waitomo Caves I asked her to be My partner and spend her life with me Underneath the glow worms I read a haiku Now she's calling on the phone and she says the line is blue [Chorus] Atlas, you don't have to hold the world up by yourself Now we're masked deep in quarantine straight tripping on your health And when the venues reopen and daddy's back on the road Put this song on repeat just to make sure you know that Atlas, you don't have to hold the world up by yourself Now we're masked deep in quarantine straight tripping on your health And when the venues reopen and daddy's back on the road Put this song on repeat just to make sure you know [Verse 2] You were born in the spring of 2020 When global events had us worried worried plenty And this year they canceled that Austin show And pretty much everything else going on, so The city shut down we left Manhattan Terrified, with no idea of what would happen So we went to stay with Barbara and John In Washington Crossing with the manicured lawns And I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't afraid A whole new birth plan, everything changed And now you're holding up our world, one day at a time You haven't met my parents but we're Zooming every night The greatest gig we ever had was to be your mom and dad Happy birthday little Titan thanks for making life so rad Standing on the edge of Gaia, I watch you levitate the sky And even when I'm gone I'm with you all the time [Chorus] Atlas, you don't have to hold the world up by yourself Now we're masked deep in quarantine straight tripping on your health And when the venues reopen and daddy's back on the road Put this song on repeat just to make sure you know that Atlas, you don't have to hold the world up by yourself Now we're masked deep in quarantine straight tripping on your health And when the venues reopen and daddy's back on the road Put this song on repeat just to make sure you know that
