Traffic - Denim Blue & Miclain Keith, DBMK

I’m back in the city of streetlights and dust

Heat from the asphalt and sidewalks we trust

Pray to fall in love, but I just fall in lust

Hot-blooded disappointment, cool to the touch

My greatest temptation on the back of my mind

Your hands on my ego are all that I find

Seeing your face, I’m falling again

Longing for time, I’ve got some to spend

And I don’t mind if there’s traffic

We can turn the radio on

Hold on to you, like a bad habit

Turn my head and you might be gone

And I don’t mind if there’s traffic

We can turn the radio on

Hold on to you, like a bad habit

Turn my head and you might be gone, gone

I like to pretend that my mistakes aren’t seen

They stay on the other side, the grass is green

Getting what I deserve cause I care too much

The unpaved roads in my mind reflect as such

Breathe the filth of the city as it passes by

Inhaling that perfume and look in your eye

Waiting for the panic to begin all at once

I claim I’m the same, but I put on a front

And I don’t mind if there’s traffic

We can turn the radio on

Hold on to you, like a bad habit

Turn my head and you might be gone

And I don’t mind if there’s traffic

We can turn the radio on

Hold on to you, like a bad habit

Turn my head and you might be gone

Morning comes and I open my eyes

I dream of that phrase, so neatly disguised

Glances and shivers just call me a fool

Keeping me warm, it must be you

My voice is distorted, compressed, and pitched up

A blanket of sound to cover it up

But I can still get my words to you

Facing again, I’ve got time to lose

And I don’t mind if there’s traffic

We can turn the radio on

Hold on to you, like a bad habit

Turn my head and you might be gone

And I don’t mind if there’s traffic

We can turn the radio on

Hold on to you, like a bad habit

Turn my head and you might be gone, gone

Watching the stars go by, even the morning light tells me it’s time for a change

Changing my way of life, telling myself I’d try, it’s still a lie all the same

It’s still a lie, it’s still a lie, it’s still a lie all the same

It’s still a lie, it’s still a lie, it’s still a lie all the same

It’s still a lie, it’s still a lie, it’s still a lie all the same

It’s still a lie, it’s still a lie, it’s still a lie all the same
