For a Little While - Ari Hest

Its the same it’s the same scene playing

Playing out all around you

One hand tucked in a blue jean pocket

One lace tied on two torn shoes

Holding out, holding out hope that someone will cramp your style

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?

Could I, could I get to know you for

It’s the light, its the stoplight cooking

Cooking dreams up inside you

Feet are tapping a tired rhythm

Sweat still blacking your old blues

Holding on to some set of rules

You’re dying to leave behind

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?

All day long, scheming up ways

To lift yourself off the ground

All day long, for goodness sake

Doesn’t it bring you down?

So I, I think we should go

Thin green papers are stacked together

In a big hollow mountain

All too easy to stack them higher

Till there’s no one around well

I wanna go, where nobody cares for building a bigger pile

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?

Could I, could I get to know you for a little while?
