0percent Interest
Jason Mraz · Tonight Not Again - Live At The Eagles Ballroom [2004]
Well our friends on the front porch, well they're telling jokes
And they swing swiftly towards them happier times
They're expending a line and finding more energy for the effort
And getting distance from that front porch spotlight
But us we found peace in shadows
Long enough to see the monsters arise
Candy's got some space to fill in her daydream
Living high on yesterday's lies
Talking to me about some 0% interest
And how she got a better deal than the next guy
And the way the lightning shocked us
When we were lost and we were looking down that long missouri highway
Your hair was longer then and now I can remember
See now I remember oh so well
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats
They're burning like wet matches
Through my miracle mile mind
You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems
But mine only brushes your soft surface
And somehow,
Somehow it leaves me listless
My tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes
So I can't speak to tell you of the months before I met you
And the way the truth it locked us oh
Right 'bout the time after the lightning shocked us
When we were young, when we were young and missing
'round that small new england byway
Our lives they were sheltered then and I now I can remember
See now well I remember oh so well, almost too well
Well its not even being about that anymore
I gotta get you down
Those tiny fragments of perfection
They please me in a time unchanged
When its not the same beginning
Or a long awaited end
If I knew all the words
I would write myself out of here
If I was all the colors
I would paint you pretty in gold
In a picture so I'm told little sister
So now I'm sold little sister
Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden
And the laws of eden
And how you were the rock of Gibraltar
And how they called you foxy
Well that's another whole box of pandoras
That's another whole box of them ties
Slide your foot off the gas
Before we crash right back into the median,
Right back into the median, the median, lord
It separates, our house, from the middle of the street
It separates, our house, from the middle of the street (fade)
And they swing swiftly towards them happier times
They're expending a line and finding more energy for the effort
And getting distance from that front porch spotlight
But us we found peace in shadows
Long enough to see the monsters arise
