Song Lyrics

Mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh, oh, and you saw but you choose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream

Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
You said, "Baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks"
Oh, there's no time to fall, existence would call
And see experimenting

And I guess there's just no other way
I've been drawn to a new escape, ay
'Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking up zoots
I've slipped away

Now I'm tonguing on a Rizla
And you sachi snows a deal for us
Oh, and dangers got me wrapped up 'round his thumb
But it's no trap 'cause I'm in love

I said I'm in love
I said I'm in love
Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
I said I'm in love
I said I'm in love, yeah

Mother may I sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh, oh, and you saw but you choose to ignore
But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream

Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
You said, "Baby learn your lessons when you step on cracks"
Oh no, there's no time to fall how you go, oh

I'll get what I want, you see
'Cause I like to tread so carefully
And you won't, won't, won't, won't ever know
So mother may sleep with danger, please
It's been knocking n my door since I was seventeen
Oh, oh, and you saw
But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream
