lyrics

I feel better when I feel happy, I feel worse when I feel sad
And I felt better since I met you
I’m forgetting about the bad times
And there’s nothing wrong with that
No nothing’s wrong with that

I’m picking up on what you’re putting on me, connecting to your energy
We’re looking at the same big picture, not so bad
It don’t matter what your stance is, you say Janis, I say David Bowie
Nothing’s wrong with that

And now I’m feeling real good
About all the time we’ve been spending together, oooh
And while you’re talking about your childhood
I’m getting a whole lot closer to you
Don’t it feel good? Say ya love me?
And I say I love ya too
I don’t know what to do
Cuz I’m getting a whole lot closer to you

You feel better when you’re wearing perfume
Patchouli and a cherry blossom
Burning your copal, trying to clear your space
After a while I found the sweetness
Kinda cloudy in the house you was building
Couldn’t find my place
Couldn’t look me in the face

And now I know you’re getting closer to the center of the road
You got them brand new people around you
Getting a whole lot closer to you
Don’t it feel good, won’t you hold me?
Baby like we used to do
I don’t know what to do
Someone’s getting a whole lot closer to you

First it’s finding out you got a boyfriend, that I’ve never met
Then I say ‘remember that night on the rooftop’
And you said ‘I forget’

And that don’t matter anymore

What you bringing a knife to a hand fight for?
What you bringing a gun to a knife fight for?
Where’d ya get that high horse, where are ya riding it?

Why you taking my love to a second hand store?
You ain’t needing it no more
That don’t matter anymore

About an hour and twenty minutes
That’s all that I can give you this week
Hoping you’re doing well, best of luck, and all
I spend a good part of the year out of the country
Maybe we can find some time to take a call
I’ll be back in town in Fall
And I’m feeling real good
I have fallen in love
And I’m fully living, just the way we talked about
Ending up living when I was a whole lot closer to you
Hope ya feel good, hope ya been well
And I hope you have that too
Oooh someone getting a whole lot closer to you
