about

named after a line in an ice cube song
Written by Ben Bandosz

lyrics

sitting by the grand fountain
near south central
hear the trickle of water just growing old
take a walk through the lit up park
and stroll by the creek
I've been living by myself
the past 93 weeks

Waltzing in an empty apartment
never paying the rent
can't say I've been feeling lonely but
nothing is free

Just in time for the last show
Wilde's "Dorian Gray"
Beautiful sets and pretty lights
Lead the way
And then I saw her face brighten up the dark
Shining eyes and curly hair
Voice singing of a lark

Waltzing never felt so empty
Won't let it get to me
Think I should find some friends before
I meet my end

Driving home late at night I can't believe my eyes
Slow down pull up to the fractured curb
"Hey, are you lost or just passing by?"
She smiles and laughs as she takes her seat
Driving by the city lights all night

Never thought I'd pay my rent at least I wasn't to late
Wake up to sunshine every morning
Even on cloudly days
