Star Jasmine

[Verse 1]

The star jasmine makes the neighborhood smell sweeter

I still trip on the cracks in the concrete

Her balcony's covered in vines and leaves and incense ashes

Maybe the more we burn the closer we get to peace

[Chorus]

And I, I

Can finally touch the ceiling

[Verse 2]

The night's fading off the palm trees and duplexes

I am thankful for the good things but they're hard to see

Watching b-sides of the sunrise through my west-facing windows

I am in love with my own constant company

[Chorus]

And I, I

Would rather sleep with the sun

[Verse 3]

I come up with ways to pass the hours

I fall in love on the bus every day

Every stranger looks like someone I've seen before

Thankfully they always walk away
