0% Interest Lyrics

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 thumb print 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 a long 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 won't
And that's just the way that it goes
