0% Interest - Jason Mraz

From the album: A Jason Mraz Demonstration

Jason Mraz - 0% Interest

LYRICS:
Our friends on the front porch telling jokes and they swing
Swiftly towards happier times

Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight

But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see the monsters
Rise

Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams living high on
Yesterday's lie

Talking to me about some 0% interest and how she got a better
Deal than the next guy

And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and
Looking down that long missouri highway your hair was longer
Then and now i remember

Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet
Matches thru my miracle mile mind

You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but
Mine only brushes your soft surface

And somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips
Oh yes

So i cant speak to tell you of the months before i met you

And the way the truth it locked us right about the time after
The lightning shocked us

When we were young and missing
Round that small new england byway our lives they were sheltered
Then and i now i remember

Well its not even being about that anymore i gotta get you down

Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
Unchanged when its not the same beginning

Or along awaited end.. if i knew all the words i would write
Myself out of here

If i was all the colors i would paint you pretty in gold in a
Picture so i'm told little sister

So now i'm sold little sister why don't you tell me about the
Sunsets in sweden and the laws of eden

And how you were the rock of gibraltar and how they called you
Foxy

Well that's another whole box of pandoras, that's another whole
Box of them ties

Slide your foot off the gas before we crash right back into the
Median

It separates our house from the middle of the street.. talking
About our house

Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly
Towards happier times

Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight

But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster
Die.

We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough
And just so long.

Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it
Long enough?

Is it long enough for me? long enough for me to chew on.

If it isn't.. if it is't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't
Then it wont.

Jason played this song yesterday in Frankfurt, hadn't heard it before and was only able to look it up because I remember some people shouted "FOXY" after him in the song... is that a ritual of longtime fans when he sings that song?
