Miss Mary Jane

[Intro – soft laugh, lighter flick] Yeah… yeah… You ever love somebody so much You start talkin’ to the smoke? Haha… yeah, that’s her… that’s my girl… [Verse 1] Met her in a paper dress, smellin’ like pine trees First kiss in a back seat, hands shakin’, high dreams She don’t judge me when I ramble to the ceiling fan Just nods in the silence like she understands She’s my green-eyed goddess in a mason jar Break her down gentle like a work of art Light her up slow, watch her dance in the night She whisper, “Baby, everything gon’ be alright” I buy her fancy glass rings, diamond-cut bowls Take her on long walks where the moonlight rolls My friends say, “Bro, you’re in too deep, you need space” But she’s the only one that ever calms my brain [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets loud and mean She pulls me close in a cloud of green Tell me I’m king of the galaxy Just me and my THC majesty [Chorus – dreamy but unhinged] Oh Mary, Mary Jane You’re my lover, my shelter from the rain My wife, my ride-or-die best friend I spark you up and fall in love again They say you’re just a plant, that’s insane She cooks my pain like it’s champagne My soulmate rolled in paper thin I breathe her out… then breathe her in [Verse 2] I took her home to meet my mama once She said, “That girl smells like trouble, son” But mama don’t see how she holds my hand When anxiety’s creepin’ like quicksand She tucks me in with a hazy kiss Got my heart racin’ in a blissful twist Indica nights, sativa days She got personalities in different ways I whisper sweet nothings to a purple haze Tell her I’d love her till the end of days Sometimes I swear she laughs at my jokes Even when I’m chokin’ on my own damn smoke I buy her grinders in gold and chrome She the only one that makes my house a home [Pre-Chorus] When my mind starts fallin’ apart She lights a fire in the dark Wraps her arms in a fragrant breeze Says, “Baby, take another hit of me…” [Chorus – louder, more obsessive] Oh Mary, Mary Jane You’re my heartbeat in my bloodstream My queen in a velvet green gown Spin my whole damn world around They say I’m crazy, maybe I am But she’s my promised land My forever rolled up tight My honeymoon every night [Bridge – manic, laughing softly] I wrote her vows in rolling paper white “In sickness and in higher heights” Ashes fall like wedding rice Till death do us part… or at least till the next light Sometimes I see her face in the smoke Smilin’ wide when my sanity broke She says, “Don’t worry baby, stay with me” And I float away so peacefully [Verse 3 – darker, clingy tone] I sleep with her jar on the nightstand Wake up reachin’ out with shaky hands She’s the only one that never leaves Even when I can’t feel my feet Friends fade out but she stays near Soft green halo around my fear If loving her is wrong, I’ll plead Guilty as charged — addicted to weed [Final Chorus – half-lullaby, half-breakdown] Oh Mary, my evergreen flame Tattoo your name across my brain My wife, my life, my sweet escape My velvet fog I can’t replace They say she’s bad for me, they’re blind She’s the only peace I ever find My soulmate rolled in paper thin I breathe her out… Then breathe her in… [Outro – soft exhale, lighter click] …Goodnight, baby. Don’t ever leave me.
