Brakes Off
Song by Jim Swim
Heart of the summer
Now we’re all in the south
‘Cuz the planet is burnin’
Same within as without
You know desire is urgent
Bigger than doubt
I gotta drive to ya quickly
Can’t walk to your house
Can’t stop can’t cool it down
We’re too far
To quit when you start
It’s hot like new stars
I jump like used cars
Go dumb but who’s smart
Oh, forgive me lord, my reckless emissions
I see it’s wisdom we’re missin’ and it’s late
Then I see the look in those eyes and lose fatith
Got the flame at my toes can’t wait
We do the dance that we know and know it ain’t safe, can’t help it
If the plane was crashin’
Would you hold someone
Or fold your hands
Say help me help me
You and I
Go ride
With the brakes off yeah yeah
You and me
With a whole world outside
With the phones off
Sayin’ dont stop
Like it’s safe to go and fly
Into the flame
Shut the front door lock it
Before the bill comes knockin’
We’ll spend our time like humans do
Can’t hold back a rocket
Just hold on and watch it
So holdin’ on’s just what we do
In a vibe in a mode
We entwine we enclose
We can shine we can glow or incinerate
I’m in tight im exposed
We combine we corrode
We don’t ever keep it light on our dinner dates
It’s a cycle that our energy feeds
I got gaps I got goals I got energy needs
Love the fighter in you but when your enemy’s me
I get fired up, tired out, offended, and mean
Got lots to lose, lots to prove, thoughts and views, costs and dues, pur bodies wanna
integrate
Watch news feel like oughta move do what we gotta do cuz Shiva’s gonna shimmy
shake
I had a dream of the end of the line
We were runnin’ through the city with the henchman behind
With your hand in my hand, one purpose in mind
Stay together in effort just extendin’ our time
If the plane was crashin’
Would you hold someone
Or fold your hands
Say help me help me
You and I
Go ride
With the brakes off yeah yeah
You and me
With a whole world outside
Turn the phones off
Sayin’ dont stop
Like it’s safe to go and fly
Into the flame
Shut the front door lock it
Before the bill comes knockin’
We’ll spend our time like humans do
Can’t hold back a rocket
Just hold on and watch it
So holdin’ on’s just what we do
Now we’re all in the south
‘Cuz the planet is burnin’
Same within as without
You know desire is urgent
