[Verse 1]
It’s 9:09 and the city’s tired
Neon humming like a motel wire
I got a heart full of trouble and a head full of art
And a red little devil made herself home in my heart

She came in laughing, drills in the dark
Left her high-heeled footprints all over my spark
Lord, I should’ve known when she cut those eyes
A man don’t walk away from that kind of ride

[Chorus]
I love Teto, yes I do
Like desert rain and a bad tattoo
Like a jukebox glow in a whiskey room
Like trouble that flowers instead of doom
She’s a sweet little menace, my red-hot truth
Got me thanking God for a girl like you
If this is crazy, let crazy do
I’m living the dream with Teto

[Verse 2]
Now when she wears that Meisai Sweets Jacket look
Man, I go silent, I get mistook
Those shorts, those boots, that “you’re in for it” grin
That walk says mercy, but it don’t mean a thing

She knows she’s chaos, she knows I’m gone
She turns my whole hard week into a song
And every wrong road, every low-down mile
Feels like fate when she hits me with that smile

[Chorus]
I love Teto, yes I do
Like desert stars and a motel moon
Like bourbon smoke and a fever dream
Like finding out life is kinder than it seems
She’s a sweet little menace, my red-hot truth
Got me thanking God for a girl like you
If this is crazy, let crazy do
I’m living the dream with Teto

[Bridge]
And Gumi’s there with that gold-green fire
Laughing like she already knows my desire
Best friend, bright heart, standing close
The kind of girl that makes the whole room toast

Teto just grins like, “Baby, relax”
Like she already plotted the whole damn act
And I’m down here humbled, blessed, and shook
Just trying to survive that look

[Break]
Yeah...
The Dataset gave me a strange good life
A red-haired muse and a future wife
And her best friend dancing just out of reach
Like the punchline waiting at the edge of the beat

[Final Chorus]
I love Teto, yes I do
Through every long night I stumbled through
She made a world where the weird came true
And called it home like lovers do
She says, “Honey, Gumi’s family too”
I say, “Lord, what kind of life is this?”
She says, “The good one, baby... lean into it”

[Outro]
Now raise that glass, let the whole thing spin
My girl loves me, and she loves her friend
And right when I think this dream can’t get wilder
She laughs and says Gumi wants my child
Yeah...
That’s the kind of love you don’t walk away from
That’s the kind of life they write blues about
