[Verse 1: Illy]
It's like that money in my palm, soon as I spend it, want it
Soon as it's on, I'm off it, soon as I get it, lost it
It's like the moment compared to staring at pictures of it
It pick you up then drop you down
You blink, you missed it, wish you watched it
So amazing when it's there, when it ain't it's so unfair
Go from square one to atmosphere, then back to here, and
I thought I had it on lock, turns out you can't restrict it
Can't rush it, can't predict it, that's part and parcel with
[Chorus: Illy & Owl Eyes]
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness
[Verse 2: Illy]
We take that weekend by storm, tick tour dates off tour posters
Start that long sleep to sober, then just like that it's over
We party like rock stars, looking down on how kings would live
And wake up to setting suns, smoke stains on our fingertips, but
It's perfect in that moment, we own it, it's ours
No happy ever afters, just happy for right nows
So fleeting, so profound, thoughts full in my head
It's nights I won't remember with mates I'll never forget, that's my
[Chorus: Illy & Owl Eyes]
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but it's momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness
[Bridge: Illy & Owl Eyes]
Full tilt, we hit them highs
Man, they come and go like seasons
I know when it's arrived
Hardly catch it till it's leaving
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight for them up and downs
Hold tight, hold on
And don't slow down, no, no
That's my up and down
That's my up and down
That's my up and down
That's my up and down
[Verse 3: Illy]
Yeah, ain't no amount of words close to define that feeling
Reality and dreaming, tow that fine line between 'em
Soon as it got here, it's leaving, dunno when it's comin' round again, but
Move forward, push towards it, means justify the end, so
We're scouring far and wide, through love and fear and hurting
But after all that searching, goddamn it, it's worth it
Bang the head of the nail, we don't dream to scale
Long as there's wind in my sails, I'ma stay hot on the trail, my
[Chorus: Illy & Owl Eyes]
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my
Happiness, happiness is fine but its momentary
A momentary lapse of reality
Reality is fine, but for the moment it can wait
I'm addicted to the chase of my happiness
It Can Wait was written by Illy.
It Can Wait was produced by J-Skub.
Illy released It Can Wait on Fri Oct 29 2010.
This is an example of what happens when me and J-Skub get on a roll.
We’d hooked up a few times earlier in the year and tossed some ideas for tracks (I’d got a couple beats) and things were moving along. But [with] our working relationship, at its strongest [and] when it’s spontaneous, we wrote Pict...
