Cracks in the Pavement

I saw the cracks in the pavement
A rose in the middle
Should I save it
Yeah
I saw the cracks in the pavement

It’s 4 am
Im losing it
That’s normal though
In despair I sit
Like every time
An angel's sent
I know the presence
Ain’t permanent
I said my piece
I said some more
Then anxiously
I waited for
A reply
Hours passed by
If I didn’t care you know
Analogues would fly
And finally
She appeared
To confirm
Everything I feared
That’s how I thought
It would all go down
Cuz I’ve been around, in my memory the signs seared
Oh
But I was wrong though
This was something I was
Writing a song for
I had to cease production
Yeah
I had to cease production

Then I saw the cracks in the pavement
A rose in the middle
Should I save it
Yeah
I saw the cracks in the pavement
I saw the cracks in the pavement
[]
And I just wonder am I able
Cuz I never thought the ground was unstable
Yeah
I just wonder am I able
Or should I count it as another fable
[]
I saw the cracks in the pavement
A rose in the middle
Should I save it
Yeah
I saw the cracks in the pavement
I touched the cracks in the pavement

She told me lately she feel so alone
Cuz all her friends got a person but she don’t have her own
She told me usually it ain’t much of an issue
But depressions calling, now I hear the dial tone
She told me she ain’t wanna sink our friendship
But her folk got families and that’s got her bluer than a crip
Cuz she feel like she missin’ out
Yeah
And it brings the salty rains about
And I can just barely relate
Years ago I stopped looking for a permanent date
I’m focused on a legacy, the goal is to be great
I don’t think a wife and kids is even in my fate
In spite of what she said I told her she ain’t have to wait
It wouldn’t be fair
Cuz I ain’t even there
There’s a lot I need to begin on my end
So Im just gon’ stick around and continue the role of friend
