Intro
305 on the receipt, 954 in the rain Phone face cracked, but the little blue light came on
Verse 1
Carol City noon, heat stuck to the mailbox Lauderhill night, rent number under a fridge rock Opa-Locka rain made the streetlights swim Liberty City porch with the screen door thin NW 79th line, five wings in the brown bag Little Haiti auntie counting quarters in a bus pass I-95 growling, Palmetto crawling slow Kids replay last summer like it owes them somewhere to go
Pre-chorus
They don't trust tomorrow when it knocks too loud So they hold yesterday like a family house
Chorus
Don't know yet, don't know yet Rain on the glass while the phone screen lit "We don't hate tomorrow; we just don't know we wanna live" Don't know yet, don't know yet Turnpike toll beep, heart still tick Miss the old porch, not the casket lid We don't hate tomorrow; we just don't know we wanna live
Verse 2
Overtown hallway, fluorescent light twitching Court date folded with the landlord petition Brownsville cousin got quiet at the grocery line Mama touched his sleeve like, baby, stay this time Allapattah motel, towel under the door crack Receipt said twelve-oh-six, food stamps didn't bounce back Perrine thunder put a cough in the walls He missed being ten 'cause nobody billed him for calls
Pre-chorus
Past got a voice with a cartoon smell Future got forms and a waiting-room bell
Chorus
Don't know yet, don't know yet Rain on the glass while the phone screen lit "We don't hate tomorrow; we just don't know we wanna live" Don't know yet, don't know yet Turnpike toll beep, heart still tick If they ask for the past, hear the fear under it We don't hate tomorrow; we just don't know we wanna live
Verse 3
[Beat drops down, filtered drums] Mirror in Goulds with the toothpaste dots Same eyes looking back like a traffic stop Cracked phone buzzed; no name, just Home I let it ring twice, then I answered low Florida City rain on my shoulder blade I heard my own voice ask me to stay
Verse 4
So I swing at that thought with a rent-stub fist Tell that old ache, you don't own my pulse No romance for the exit, no crown for the cold I want porch light, hot rice, nieces getting old NW 62nd, bus brakes coughing smoke Man by the corner store said, breathe before you joke I put one foot down where the puddle split Future ain't sweet, but it's mine to live
Pre-chorus
Past can sit down; I can love it from here I can miss it and still keep tomorrow near
Chorus
Don't know yet, don't know yet Rain on the glass while the phone screen lit "We don't hate tomorrow; we just don't know we wanna live" Don't know yet, don't know yet Turnpike toll beep, heart still tick Say it for the young ones biting their lip: We don't hate tomorrow; we just don't know we wanna live
Verse 5
Tell my little cousin by the vending machine: Keep the receipt, not the hurt in the seam Call before the storm makes the streetlights bend Leave your key with somebody who knows your hands Miss the old days, but don't move in there Life got an ugly laugh and a folding chair When the toll beep hits and the rain comes quick Touch your own chest; hear the heart still tick
Outro
Don't know yet, but we learned this much: The past ain't a home if it won't let us touch tomorrow
Inside the recording
305 on the receipt, 954 in the rain Phone face cracked, but the little blue light came on
They don't trust tomorrow when it knocks too loud So they hold yesterday like a family house
Don't know yet, but we learned this much: The past ain't a home if it won't let us touch tomorrow
