lyrics

Her name was melancholy molly
And from time to time
She liked a little whiskey in her coffee
And every now and then a cigarette
Especially when it rains
And blames it on the weather
When she never recollects your name
Its all the same
Its as if we’ve never been
She takes another sip
I light my spliff and listen
As she begins
At a whim
Like the unexpected
All connected to past action
Started before her time
Yet shes more to me
Than her reaction
So I recline as she speak
Now she says she wants
My hands on her thigh
I feel the heat
Despite the distance
No questions to why
Just feeling like
Im there too listen
But shes so fly
I know i
Gotta be wrong
She shared her pain w me
Because I put it to a rhyme
Not ashamed
She never claimed
To be a stranger to the dawn
Yet she never turns her lights on

Chorus:
They call her molly, she in the mood
She needs some whiskey in her coffee
And some cali good (x2)

Now the feelings
Never enough
Until its too much
We stuck running
Whether coming or going
Til its done and im holdin
Onto moments
And its showing I know
So to savor the flavoe
Sometimes we like to
Take it slow to make it last
But only if
She remembers
How to forget
As when all things come to pass
We all searching for a fix
Where nobody
Has a clue
Yet we all up the mix
Heavy steps
Just trying to make it through
Not trying to pursue
Just wish I can help you
Carry the weight
She got my heart racing
Thogh I cant keep pace
And theres no way
To play it safe but wait
I take a step back
When she looks me dead in the face
Saying she needs a place
To rest at, no trespass
She quiet as kept
With nothing left to be said
She gets her way
By pressing her head
To my chest, yes

Chorus:
(refrain)
