0% Interest
Words by Jason Mraz & Ariel Quirolo
Music by Jason Mraz
our friends on the front porch telling jokes and they
swing swiftly towards happier times expending lines
and finding more energy for the effort and getting
distance from that front porch spotlight but us we
found peace in shadows long enough to see the
monsters rise candy's got some space to fill in her
daydreams living high on yesterday's lie talking to
me about some 0% interest and how she got a
better deal than the next guy
and the way the lightning shocked us when we were
lost and looking down that long missouri highway
your hair was longer then and now I remember
oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning
like wet matches thru my miracle mile mind you left
your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems
but mine only brushes your soft surface and
somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls
under my lips oh yes so I cant speak to tell you of
the months before I met you
and the way the truth it locked us right about the
time after the lightning shocked us when we were
young and missing round that small new england
byway our lives they were sheltered then and I now
I remember
well its not even being about that anymore I gotta
get you down those tiny fragments of perfection
they please me in a time unchanged when its not
the same beginning or along awaited end... if I
knew all the words I would write myself out of here
if I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in
gold in a picture so I'm told little sister so now I'm
sold little sister why don't you tell me about the
sunsets in sweden and the laws of eden and how
you were the rock of gibraltar and how they called
you foxy well that's another whole box of
pandora's, that's another whole box of them ties
slide your foot off the gas before we crash right
back into the median it separates our house from
the middle of the street... talking about our house
is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing
swiftly towards happier times expending lines and
finding more energy for the effort and getting
distance from that front porch spotlight but us we
found peace in shadows long enough to see a
monster die. we all need to find a little space in our
daydreams long enough and just so long. long
enough, just as long, just so long as its long
enough is it long enough? Is it long enough for
me? Long enough for me to chew on. If it isn't... if
it isn't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't then it wont.
And that's just the way that it goes.
