Beauty in the Bricks

by Illy

[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Show me something brand new
Wrong side of the bed, my mind heavy
Lady to the right of me, quiet, she lie with me
Said, "I set my own time, leave only when I'm ready
And I should apologise but my pride won't let me"
'Cause I'm a headstrong brother, mumma told me that
Won't let anybody try hold me back
I hold you close, you can hold me to that
I'ma show you the lanes in the cul-de-sacs

[Chorus: Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from
But she just wanna visit the neon lights at night
The neon lights at night
I tell her
Said, "There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from"
But she just said she wanna get a little routine on
If that's alright
Yeah, that's alright

[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Show me something brand new, though
Something that's out of this world like Pluto
'Cause I been tryna work it out like Cluedo
How a couple that's twenty who been living like you're thirty
Don't get tired of hearing "Baby, I just go wherever you go"
Uh, I mean your life ain't over yet
Nothing wrong about it, [?] we're over it
New experiences, personal growth and sh*t
I know it's cozy in that comfort zone, but sh*t
Live life, man, see new things
And you'll remember how it was, try keep a few things
Try to see where you headed, and everywhere that you been
Got a feeling you could even show me a few things
Try tell 'em, man
I'm tryna see where you headed, and everywhere that you been
Got a feeling you could even show me a few things
What you think?

[Chorus: Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from
But she just wanna visit the neon lights at night
The neon lights at night
I tell her
Said, "There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from"
But she just said she wanna get a little routine on
If that's alright
Yeah, that's alright

[Bridge: Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
Show me something brand new
Take me somewhere I ain't been
You say you wanna break free
Well sh*t, me too
Could you show me something brand new
Said I been looking for something new
Said I been looking for something new
Maybe I could find it with you

[Verse 3: Nick Lupi]
Uh, wrong side of the bed, my mind heavy
Lady to the right of me gone, her side empty
She left me a note goodbye and then she'll miss me
She could be lying, at least she's lying with me
Confessions of a rolling stone
No strings, no ties, most nights alone
Few flings on the fly, but nothing to write home
Got a hole in my heart that I can't quite close
But I been trying, though, tell me your name
Tell me what I wanna hear, and I'ma tell you the same
See I got so settled in my ways
Enough to make me wonder if I'm ever gonna change
Uh, analysing the attraction
Can't tell if it's a prize or a distraction
Or if I'll ever find satisfaction
In one night stands, all these crimes of passion
Uh, but maybe that's too strong
Maybe I just wait till the day that I'm proved wrong
Or maybe I been single for a little too long
A little too ready to call it and move on
And I don't wanna do you wrong, I'm bad news
Hide in the right place, but I never can choose
Between what's right and what's right in front of me
Damn, show me something brand new

[Chorus: Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from
But she just wanna visit the neon lights at night
The neon lights at night
I tell her
Said, "There's beauty in the bricks in the city that I'm from"
But she just said she wanna get a little routine on
If that's alright (Said I been looking for something new
Maybe I could find it with you)
