I said now, oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
She told me, "You look the same", I said, "I'm now a new man"
Think I'm gonna be fine
Met an acquaintance, we were reintroduced

She took out a toothbrush started usin' it there

Simply to help us take a load off our feet"
That was the old me, I was living a lie
If I got locked up nobody'd come to help me post bail"
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
But it's always on my mind
I got arrested in the dark of the night
We get lost in the back of our minds
I picked a pocket just to give it all back
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
Met three Latinas who had gotten their fill
Ridin' the subway with the scent of her hair
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
She asked me, "How does that work?", I started giving a damn
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
I wanna look good if I get to look God in the eye"
She explained, "I'm always sure today's the day I will die
And I'm never sure, what I'm livin' for
But it's always on my mind
Went to a party on the side of a hill

I said now, oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
Oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
We get lost in the back of our minds
Everybody's got the love but they keep it inside
Someone comes along, always proves me wrong
Oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
Oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
Everybody's got the love but they keep it inside

Got nothin' to burn but time, time, time

They told me, "Nobody ever gets us down on our knees
Oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
With more in common than we had in our youth
Got nothin' to burn but time, time, time
And I'm never sure what I'm livin' for
Someone comes along always proves me wrong

Think I'm gonna be fine
The man said, "I wanna thank you" and I had to ask why
I said now, oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
The cop got restless as he read me my rights
I said now, oh, ooh, woah, ooh, oh
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"

Took out the license, left the money in tact
And I said, "Oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa"
He told me, "I'm always envious of those that I jail
