"Be careful with your life
even when risk seems minimal.
Be careful with your trust
even when love is being claimed.
Be careful to speak exactly what you mean,
lucidness is the first step in becoming.
Honor your every loyalty,
the first being to yourself."

You wanna sleep on my chest?
You wanna listen to my heart beat
all through the night?
It’s the only jazz station
with a twenty-four-hour signal
if you wanna listen.
If you know what I mean.
