I look at you and I wonder why
You couldn't be steady easy free
Like this kick drum even if the chords change
Oh I don't wanna do a solo
I just wanna be John and Yoko
Kissing on the cover of that record
Cause without you I'm talking to myself again
Then I vocode my words and pretend it's you
And I turn blue and this is what I hear
Can you hear me?
Listen closely
Promise me that you'll try to understand
I wanna love you
God I love you
I wanna love you but I have to go away
I wake up cold in the middle of the night
I lost my cool, I think you knew
Said "I need love" then started crying in your bed
How could you leave with pieces of me?
I just wanted to be your honey
Why did you pour salt in my sugar
Cause without you I'm talking to myself again
Then I vocode my words and pretend it's you
And I turn blue and this is what I hear
[chorus]
Everything we wanted
I know I let you down...
[chorus]
I have to go away...

They picked my favorite city to feature first. There are so many more artists from Oakland that would be worth looking into, but this collection takes me back to my favorite summer. Johannes Duckeck
