Amos Lee - Keep It Loose Keep It Tight lyrics

Well, I walked over the bridge

Into the city where I live

Then I saw my old landlord

Well, we both said hello

There was no where else to go

'Cos his rent I couldn't afford

Well, relationships change

Oh I think it's kinda strange

How money makes a man grow

Some people they claim

If you get enough fame

You live over the rainbow

Over the rainbow

But the people on the street

Out on buses or on feet

We all got the same blood flow

And in society every dollar got a deed

We all need a place so we can go

And feel over the rainbow

But sometimes

We forget what we got

Who we are

Oh, who we are not

I think we gotta chance

To make it right

We keep it loose

We keep it tight

Keep it tight

I'm in love with a girl

Who's in love with the world

And I can't help but follow

Though I know some day

She is bound to fly away

And stay over the rainbow

Gotta learn how to let her go

Over the rainbow

But sometimes

We forget who we got

Who they are

Oh, who they are not

There is so much more in love

Than black and white

I keep it loose now, child

Gotta keep it tight

I gotta keep it loose now, child

Keep it tight

Keep it tight

Keep it tight, yeah
