Atmosphere - January On Lake Street Lyrics
[Verse 1]The doors openMy left foot sitting on the drivewayYou lookin' at me sidewaysYou tryna predict what I might sayBut my mind ain't here now, I'm thinking ‘bout the highwayGone with the gustSing songs for the bombs that fall in the duskWe all want a little too muchTryna clutch anything close enough to touchAnd if I had the meansI would never be the mascot of y'll teamY'all judging trialsI'm shoveling milesWanna go home and try to grow a couple of smilesSo I shift to the capital NIt happened before and it'll happen againRoll backwards into the streetNow talk amongst yourselves but try to keep it on beatI got at least ten minutes to liveYou not a thief just simulativeThere's no need to be a difficult finishYou can see you ain't the only one considering getting it inClaim that you ain't afraid to dieThen why are you afraid to fly?You better face the heightsGet your bravery stripes or get your name deniedCause you was waiting for a safer rideGod bless I set up the bricksStep through the mess didn't wreck the kicksDreamt that I lept off the edge of the cliffCame back said the bodies up in heaven were thickChanging lanes and re-arranging lifeI ain't tryna chase a trail of tail-lightsManage pain to get the placement rightStand up straight when you say goodnight[Verse 2]And each broken glass shows a different viewI deal the truth y'all pick and chooseThis ain't a game for you to win or loseBut I, never been in your shoesBut I, never make supper with suckersIt ain't nothing if it ain't about hungerYou think you cuttin' the lumberAnd I would love to be a fly on the cupboardWhenever that bubble rupturesAnd even when we save the dayWe never do it believing that we don't make mistakesYou don't need to recognize my faceI'm trying to fly through time and spaceToo late to erase meWith the windows down, January on Lake StreetPoppa got a brand new can of paintPut your hands in the air like you work at the bank
