LookBaby, I can't promise you nothin'I mean, the future could be all we need or plugs in a dustbinI see the clouds all brewing, guess we're due for a floodin'The cold blue light blinds, but my ark is your lovin'A. I. in the sky hummin'The world's burning, but fuck itAsleep stomach to stomach is all I need, to be honestNot cause I'm evil or ostrich, but 'cah my people turned prophetsAlready walking on water while the sea level's frothingYeah, it's heavy, tread steady, but this ain't any old romanceBabe, you were just my best lay and I never planned to hold handsTill the whole of human history aligned so we could slow danceAnd those that came before us suffered more so is it so bad?They carried us as hope inside their ovaries and gonadsSo sunburned or drowned or deletedIt's the end of webut maybe we're the bitter seeds that grow into a lemon treeYeah, the past and the future lives inside the present's energySo show a little tenderness now and love flows endlesslyTime is on a loop like the sun, that's its destinySo the truth is how you lie here next to me is how we'll forever be
