11:57

(Hook)
Hearts burning
Like the pavement of
a summer in the city.
11:57, 3 mins to 12

Eyes meet, gazes lock
bodies intertwined
talking new languages
learning tongues.

Hearts burning
Like the pavement of
a summer in the city.
11:57, 3 mins to 12

Eyes meet, gazes lock
bodies intertwined
talking new languages
learning tongues.

(Verse 1)
We sleep in beds
Owned by strangers.
Gripping on waists
Grasping on these moments.
Short lengthed
Like this bed we lay in
Baby we'll be just fine.
You and I.
Fuck what they say.
We're new experiences.
In search of a place
You like my stay
And I like your touch.
9-5 by your side.

(Hook)
Hearts burning
Like the pavement of
a summer in the city.
11:57, 3 mins to 12

Eyes meet, gazes lock
bodies intertwined
talking new languages
learning tongues.

Hearts burning
Like the pavement of
a summer in the city.
11:57, 3 mins to 12

Eyes meet, gazes lock
bodies intertwined
talking new languages
learning tongues.

(Verse 2)
Weekend Late night, 11:57. 
3 minutes till midnight.
You're still out working
in Mott Haven. I'll wait all night.
Like children on building stoops.
Bottles is present, Henny and E&J
Sipping n' serving, bodies is tipping
Everyone's Inhaling,the polluted air
Stomach aching, but I'm good.
Drinks after drinks, puff after puff.
Time passing by, thoughts of you
Lingering in my mind.
Intoxicants, got my third eye blurring,
My Body yearning n' Desire roaming,
for your touch.

(Hook)
Hearts burning
Like the pavement of
a summer in the city.
11:57, 3 mins to 12

Eyes meet, gazes lock
bodies intertwined
talking new languages
learning tongues.

Hearts burning
Like the pavement of
a summer in the city.
11:57, 3 mins to 12  

Eyes meet, gazes lock
bodies intertwined
talking new languages
learning tongues.
