about

I remember writing some of this song as a recommendation from my therapist. During one of our sessions we got into my music background and she thought it would be a good idea to write down some positive things about my relationship. This song was the result of that. I'm thankful she told me to do so because it eventually gave the album balance.

I remember talking to my ex about working on an album about our experience and she said "oh you have a whole album bashing me?" And I was low key like "yeah" in my mind lol. But after she said that I felt kinda bad about it. And although our relationship was rough I still had love for the lady.

Rollin With You was inspired by our late night drives in Los Angeles. Whenever she would visit me we'd cruise the city on late night food missions, or catch us lighting lanterns at the beach, or spend the quiet hours after a party driving back home. This is what I was recalling when my therapist suggested I write something positive.

lyrics

Te dije que te queria, me acuerdo de ese momento, no te lo esperabas y no dijste nada. Es por eso que me fui, porque yo tampoco sé que decir pero sigo queriendote.

Keep my foot on the gas
Keep my hand on the wheel
I’m still chasing the high I forgot how it feel
Breakaway from the madness
I don’t need the theatrics
When I’m rollin with you
You the cure for my sadness
Bringing light to the blackness
I’m seduced by the magic
Still abusing the habit
Fly me right through the exit
‘Cause when I’m rolling with you
I’m love with the high
And I’m feeling the vibe
I get a lot off my mind
Say when I’m rolling with you
I get lost in the zone
We explore the unknown
You ain’t gotta go home
This is where you belong
Right here by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde
‘Cause when I’m rolling with you
Down the highway high
Life is weighing me down
You’re my key to the sky
You can hop in my ride
Sitting right by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde

‘Cause when I’m rolling with you
Down the highway high
Life is weighing me down
You’re my key to the sky
You can hop in my ride
Sitting right by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde

when I’m rolling with you
Down the highway high
Life is weighing me down
You’re my key to the sky
You can hop in my ride
Sitting right by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde

Fuck the stress and the bills
Take a moment to chill
Gotta stay here forever
Just escape from the world
Fuck a job and a struggle
We just post in our bubble
Got the champagne popping
Just to numb all our troubles
Got the Nor-Cal reefer
And the bass in the beat up
See the waves in the ocean
Same flow through the speaker
Sounding wavy as hell
But the feeling is deeper
Better count all your blessings and adjust your receivers
You got the perfect demeanor
We in love with the chill
I just puff on the chronic
I don’t fuck with the pills
I keep dodging the bullets
‘Cause I know how they feel
They say that life ain’t easy
They say the struggle is real
But when I’m rolling with you
Down the highway high
Life is weighing me down
You’re my key to the sky
You can hop in my ride
Sitting right by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde

‘Cause when I’m rolling with you
Down the highway high
Life is weighing me down
You’re my key to the sky
You can hop in my ride
Sitting right by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde
when I’m rolling with you
Down the highway high
Life is weighing me down
You’re my key to the sky
You can hop in my ride
Sitting right by my side
We together forever like Bonnie and Clyde
