Streetlights

She said her heart was broke in two
And Hailey's smiling on a broken tooth
She said her boyfriend gave it
But he aint mean it he was drunk when he breaked it
I ain't fuck her I'm just touching her naked
I'm on something I'm weightless
I'm just feeling the high
It's times like these it's like I'm feelin' ta die
It's like I'm willing to die
Just to see what it's like
Just to feel I finally did something real with my life
But I'm just feeling tonight
It's mine she ain't like the way he touch her this time
Just a little too rough
But when she crying she shine
See she tryin' ta be mine
I'm like baby can you save me I'm just dying inside
She gets high off that second hand smoke
I was learning to fly she was learning to cope
And the whiskey make the night seem risky
An' I can smell the death in her chest on her breath when she kissed me
And after party talking who's coming with me
After party looking stupid and tipsy
All the dealers look shifty
They got devilish eyes
Unlike me D devil in disguise

I don't wanna go to sleep no
Said I got so much more to see yo
It's another Saturday night and I feel alright
Gonna find my God here in these streetlights I'm like
Ohh ohh oh wo-oh-oh-oh-oooh na da na na na na...

The house party like a house of worship
Everybody speaking in tongues reciting thems
She said she saw the father at the bottom of a Johnny Walker
Hailey said she's gonna kill someone
Somebody stop her
But nobody stopped her
Somebody calls the cops
The party stops the congregation in the parking lot
The flashing lights make me feel I got the passion of Christ
Make her feel she got rhythm so I'm just grabbing her tight
Or she gonna fall off and smash up the whole night
She table dancing, I'm asking if she's all right
We one-night stands and one night only
We just come together in masses for the lonely
We all using in some way
Savin' up sometime for somehow
For growing up someday and maybe Sunday,
But tonight we just passing around collection plates
Throwing on something
Hailey's going home and she don't even know his name
And he don't look a thing like Jesus
She say she'll be all right
I'm caught up in (all night?)
I'm looking at car lights like starlight,
It's gotta be God, right?

Hailey's falling I'm sober enough to hold her up
We take communion we just pass around that solo cup
Everybody passing out and throwing up
She just look like she fallin I ask her how she's holding up
We speeding head first into ditches, yeah
We get naked now she wanna take pictures
And suddenly them girls that make their money under covers
Wanna be lovers and nice chicks wanna be bitches
Now I'm just hangin out the sunroof,
Arms outstretched trying to take flight
And fly into the late night
And disappear somewhere amongst the stars
I swear I never felt so close to God

I find my faith through Saturday night war stories
We never talk about them Sunday mornings
See them Sunday mornings they like blasphemy
Tell the usher pour another glass for me
