step

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
Step - Vampire Weekend

Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat
Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
While home in New York was champagne and disco
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader
Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman
I was a hoarder but girl that was back then

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out

What you on about?

I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones

Im stronger now, Im ready for the house
Such a modest mouse,

I cant do it alone, I cant do it alone

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

Ancestors told me that their girl was better
Shes richer than Croesus, shes tougher than leather
I just ignored all the tales of a past life
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
Well, they didnt know how to dress for the weather
I can still see them there huddled on Astor
Snow falling slow to the sound of the master
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out

What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones

Im stronger now, Im ready for the house
Such a modest mouse,
I cant do it alone, I cant do it alone

Wisdoms a gift, but youd trade it for youth
Age is an honor, its still not thetruth
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
Maybe shes gone and I cant resurrect her
The truth is she doesnt need me to protect her
We know the true death, the true way of all flesh
Everyones dying, but girl youre not old yet
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?

I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones

Im stronger now, Im ready for the house
Such a modest mouse,

I cant do it alone, I cant do it alone

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out

What you on about?
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones

Im stronger now, Im ready for the house
Such a modest mouse,
I cant do it alone, I cant do it alone

Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
