Jump, if you want to, cause Ill catch you, girl. Ill catch you fore you fall. Go as far inside as you need to, Ill hold your ankles. Make sure you get back out. Im not saying this because I need a place to stay. Thats the last thing I need. I told you, Im a walking man, but I been heading in this direction for seven years. Walking all around this place. Upstate, downstate, east, west; I been in territory aint got no name, never staying nowhere long. But when I got here and sat out there on the porch, waiting for you, well, I knew it wasnt the place I was heading toward; it was you. We can make a life, girl. A life.
