Watsky - Backburner lyrics

I remember it was broad daylight
We were mobbing down Broadway right
Past all the North Beach titty bars
Condor Club
Little Darlings and my shitty car
You were looking pretty darn
Fine in the passenger
Side of my Momma's old ride and
I was thinking if I don't say

Shit then I won't say shit
So this scrub shit ends right here
It's been a pain in the ass
Sitting on this awkward feeling
But, I know that it's real and
I'm thinking that you probably
Had an inkling judging how you
Leaned back sighed and said

"Mama said love's only half
About love and the


Other half's time and if you want
To find your better half baby then you
Better have timing on your side"
"Mama said love's only half
About love and the

Other half's time and if you want
To find your better half baby then you
Better have timing on your side"
Keep me on the backburner
Keep me on the backburner
Keep me on the backburner
Keep me on the backburner

So I thought for a bit
Sounds like a hot pile of
Fuck that shit cause what about sacrifice?
Doing what we got to cause
It's too painful not to
You said "That's really a beautiful thought
But let's not be naive and
Deceive ourselves you're gonna
Leave California and
For your own sake please
Don't force a mistake"

Life tends to take irregular courses
Guided by some devilish forces
Maybe you could be my wife stepping from our
Second divorces before we turn
Forever to corpses
I just think you're clever and gorgeous
If I ever get to enter that fortress
And pour this pleasure into every orifice
I won't be checking my watch
I won't be checking it

"Mama said love's only half
About love and the
Other half's time and if you want
To find your better half baby then you
Better have timing on your side"
"Mama said love's only half
About love and the
Other half's time and if you want
To find your better half baby then you
Better have timing on your side"
Keep me on the backburner
Keep me on the backburner
Keep me on the backburner
Keep me on the backburner
