I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,
When the world becomes unexplainable,
I look up to know you see the same sun in the sky,

and didn’t see me grab the Plug Tune fame
As we go a little somethin’ like this
look ma, no protection

To see that joyous smile,

We had an awesome choice to make,
On my mind in an arid municipality,
In the shadow of Portman western architecture,
In a lofty position amidst the empire peach of the south,

Wondering what it was for your touch,
