verse 1
C
We were trippin' out to this riff in our heads
Something that goes like this

But comes out way different

Kind of like your first kiss
Those times, just in time
I fell out of some trees

Though I lay and saw the world so clearly
C
And in all the right colors
F
In the sky

In the sky to the ground

From the waters to your mouth

I can see it from this riverbed of ours

One hookah, some cheese
Ma'am, check please

Out into the streets we ran so childishly

Two young lovers with room to grow

Let's see who can do three cartwheels in a row

They were two kids gettin' high

Our faces glow from our epiphanies
As we ate like kings from banana trees

And felt relieved to be going swimming
The Milky Way's got a way with me

On my way out to sea?

We will sail off the earth

And find out just how it works

To believe in something that

Embodies matter
