Can't Look Away (feat. Jamila Woods & aja monet)

Does a tree trunk miss a blade?

Does a teardrop miss a face?

What science makes us stay?

See a crash, can't look away

You left a scar

Why do I feel the same?

And I been sleepin' on it

But you been creepin' in my dreams

Again I'm fallin for ya

This time I'll land on my feet

I got out of love with you alive

So far

Ooh, I survived

Now I think I'm goin' back in time

Too far

To change my mind

I sift through the soil in my pot

The house plants singing in the light of an open window

Was it breakfast you wanted, or to feel the hunger of a new dawn?

I was dancing in my living room before you

Posed for a portrait by the record player

And perched your lips like a blues song

Shooing the shy places within

We ate mushrooms for breakfast and listened for what bloomed

In our decaying minds

I followed the yes in my body

And let you read the footsteps between our eyes

You belong elsewhere and I am a choice you make at every turn

Where nerves go to worship on Sunday

Where there is no religion and only love is holy

Where touch is a church

Where the heart is a playlist that doesn't skip

Where the mountains lay on their side

And watch us wander away

Closer to the Earth of one another

Where we are a landscape

A postcard

A promise, a portal

Where to know now what we felt then

Where your hands are the horizon

Riding the sunset like an open road, which is really a doorway

I sip the heaven of your hello

Where fingers find their way into a prayer

Where lovers love more faithful than flesh

Where every tomorrow is today

Where dimples dance in the desert

And the corners of a smile

Soft as a blade of light, opens the sky

Where my thighs are wet with waiting

When I say, "Love," I mean to say

"I didn't see you coming"
