Rocky Mountain smoke

Gold clouds when I breathe

Everybody wanna love me

Baby, love ain’t free

Got a homegirl on my left side

Pretty face, dangerous eyes

Steal your heart, steal your life

Disappear into the night

Driving past old memories

In a nicer car than before

Laughing with the windows down

Like they don’t hurt no more

Everybody wants something

Everybody wants a some money

Funny how the faces change

But somehow stay the same

Maybe I’m just looking for myself

Inside everybody else

When have I ever not gotten what I wanted?

When have I ever not gotten what I needed?

Especially when I tried

Especially when I stayed consistent

Funny how I forget that

Wonder how I come across

When I walk into a room

Talking way too much

Or hiding in the corner too

Being around people feels

Like rehearsing for a play

Everybody knows their lines

I’m improvising every day

Sometimes I tell my whole life story

Sometimes I don’t say a thing

If it doesn’t mean something

It don’t mean anything

Maybe that’s my problem

I make poetry from pennies

Make a universe from dust

Find meaning in the smallest things

While everybody rushes past

Maybe that’s my problem

I need people to dive deep

Most folks only wanna swim

So I keep waiting at the bottom

Wondering why they never jump in

Everybody wanna love me

Baby, love ain’t free

When have I ever not gotten what I wanted?

When have I ever not gotten what I needed?

Especially when I tried

Especially when I stayed consistent

Funny how I forget that

Maybe I’m just looking for myself

Inside everybody else

Inside everybody else

Inside everybody else
