lyrics

A late December night and i’m thinking of you
Been holed up in the right kind of city to do
some soul searching
and some time away to think
i am learning what is keeping me on the ground


I’m so damn in love with you
I want my life for only you
I will keep you inside my vacant heart
i will meet you over on your side
every time

we can start the night with some romance
we finish off the wine and we slow dance
for a moment nothing else exists
i am certain whenever i taste your lips
that

Chorus

Oh giving up is easy
but i would never quit you
you’re the tracks to my streetcar
when i’m lost you’re my north star

I thought I needed more
to satisfy myself
I thought if I could be rich
I could buy my way out

but the money flowed
it was never enough

happiness is giving in to someone you love

I’m so damn in love with you
I want my life for only you
I will keep you inside my vacant heart
i will meet you over on your side
every time

Brassroots District Los Angeles, California

As the outside world gets crazier, the inside groovehaus gets sweatier. Brassroots District is not a band. It's an idea. A musical collective. A respite from negativity. It's a space where freaks and businessmen, weirdos and stiffs come together for a night of unadulterated joy. To dance, sing, smoke, drink and make good, good love. ... more
