Marching Bands (feat. Kardinal Offishall)

It's funny how I fell into your arms

Thinking if I never left Toronto

I wouldn't be this high

Just a voice in disguise

You changed my life

Driving through LA to pass time

Palm trees on the edge of my eyes right now

Hit Venice at the right time

If I didn't meet you, I'd die-ie-ie-ie

You and I were meant to be

Our love outlasts history

Our bond is strong

I bet you never knew

We met on Ocean Avenue

Right down in Santa Monica

It's where our souls first touched

Felt like a thousand marching bands

When I saw your face for the first time

When I was without you, them were the worst times

That's what I found when I got to know you

Damn, girl I like you, damn a life without you

I seem distant at times, let me show you

That it's a defense mechanism that I go through

Only the most high I put before you

I just wanna love you, not control you

You and I were made for each other from the start

Take off the safety, aim at the heart

Insecurity may take us apart

And not I'm unsure that there is even a cure for this pure feeling

I be in the clubs, it ain't appealing

You are the real and there's something that I think I outta tell you

I bet you never knew

We met on Ocean Avenue

Right down in Santa Monica

It's where our souls first touched

Felt like a thousand marching bands

Played through the bedding of the sand

Right down in Santa Monica

It's where our souls first touched

You and I, we shout out loud

This is the best day, into the best night

To this best time we ever had

It all just came to my head

When you laughed at me and said

This is the best day, into the best night

To the best time we ever had

I bet you never knew

We met on Ocean Avenue

Right down in Santa Monica

It's where our souls first touched

Felt like a thousand marching bands

Played through the bedding of the sand

Right down in Santa Monica

It's where our souls first touched
