Take the Canyon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I need to paint
You could be my canvas
Sometimes I want to escape
Even though it's selfish
I’m always coming over and smoking you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
As the clock strikes 12, I'll be freaking you out
Make us both forget what we were worried about

[Pre-Chorus]
Traffic's jammed on the 405
I hop in the whip cause there’s not much time
I’m gonna get to you

[Chorus]
Fly through the streets like a hawk through the sky
Be in and out like a drive-by
I’m going to take the canyon
Feels so good because I know that it’s wrong
Get back home ain't nothing going on
I’m going to take the canyon

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I bite my lip so I don’t slip and say his name
Cause in these magic moments I get homesick all the same
I’m always coming over and smoking you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
If I waited for you I’d just be waiting alone
So when the clock strikes 2 I'll be on my way home
[Pre-Chorus]
Traffic's jammed on the 405
I hop in the whip cause there’s not much time
Dammit I’m gonna get to you

[Chorus]
Fly through the streets like a hawk through the sky
Ill be in and out like a drive-by
I’m going to take the canyon
Feels so good because I know that it’s wrong
Get back home ain't nothing’s going on
I’m going to take the canyon

[Bridge]
Said on my way
He said he was born to be the other man
So, I go to see him when I get the chance
(So, I go to see him when I get the chance)
Baby I'm on my way

[Chorus]
Fly through the streets like a hawk through the sky
Ill be in and out like a drive-by
I’m going to take the canyon
Feels so good because I know that it’s wrong
Get back home ain't nothing going on
I’m going to take the canyon
Gonna do what I got to do
Gonna get to you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
