Yo Yo

Streaks on the windows blur my eyes
John Coltrane is more than wise
The mellow tone of the saxophone
Really softens up the air and I've got my phone off
Completes the rainy days of life

Thinking of days in Harlem
That bridge, the people, the city, the lights
My friend Gregory Porter said he's got your daughter
In real good hands tonight
And you can meet me down in the city
And we go and we go and we go and we go
And we keep on going, not really knowing
The way the streets beneath us move, not ever slowing
I want to believe there's more to life than this
I'm waking up to see the light

Some days are good, some days are bad, some days are so-so
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down just like a yo-yo
My feet move forward then I follow but I don't know
If I go there will I come back without a home, yo?
I really, really need sunlight
It's gotta, gotta feel so right
To believe, believe there's life and love out there

Beats of the raindrops feed my mind
Wild on this, I can't deny
The minor thirds of those brassy birds
Really sealing up the joint and I've got my phone off
Completes the misty days of life

Thinking of days in London
The streets, the people, the race, the vibes
My friends reading the papers, there's a wall of haters
But we're going out fresh tonight
And you can meet me down in the city
And we go and we go and we go and we go
And we keep on going, not really knowing
The way the streets beneath us move, not ever slowing
I want to believe there's more to life than this
I'm waking up to see the light

Some days are good, some days are bad, some days are so-so
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down just like a yo-yo
My feet move forward then I follow but I don't know
If I go there will I come back without a home, yo?
I really, really need sunlight
It's gotta, gotta feel so right
To believe, believe there's life and love out there

I want to believe there's more to life than this
I'm waking up to see the light
I want to believe there's more to life than this
I'm waking up to see the light, yeah

Some days are good, some days are bad, some days are so-so
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down just like a yo-yo
My feet move forward then I follow but I don't know
If I go there will I come back without a home, yo?
I really, really need sunlight
It's gotta, gotta feel so right
To believe, believe there's life and love out there

Some days are good, some days are bad, some days are so-so
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down just like a yo-yo
My feet move forward then I follow but I don't know
If I go there will I come back without a home, yo?
I really, really need sunlight
It's gotta, gotta feel so right
To believe, believe there's life and love out there
