Cassie's Song

 

if u had yr way 

would u choose to stay
 
anymore 

if yr mind did not
 
cooperate too hot
 
anymore 

not that it ever did
 
since u were a kid
 
on the floor 

u were rollin around 

respondin to sound
 
i'm sure 

i'm sure somewhere in yr mind
 
u have peace of mind 

more 

than any of us –
 
we all make a fuss 

in our core 

can you deny the score? 
oh i cant lie anymore 

if u had yr way
 
would u choose to stay 

in new york 

or would u prefer
 
somewhere much warmer 

like LA – i kno 

u never could say
 
“like that” or “this way”
 
or implore 

u never could run
 
go outside have fun
 
and explore 

all the hands on yr face
 
markin a place 

on yr forehead 

no no no they dont understand 

no grand master plan’s
 
in the hand of 

the lord denies the score
 
oh i can’t lie anymore 

if u had yr way
 
would yr ashes spray 

from the shore 

of the great south bay
 
near one-eight-three
 
s. snedecor 

i kno all day we would lay 

in the shade of
 
an old sycamore 

my thoughts resound
 
each leaf fallin down 

reassures 

with each passin day 

i’ll open and close
 
the same door 

to find u 

thirsty and cryin 

inside who’s dyin more? 

how can you deny the score
 
oh i won’t lie anymore
