We were both young when I first saw you....
I close my eyes and the flashback starts, I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home
Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane
cuz you know i love the players, and you LOVE THE GAME
But i got smarter, i got harder in the nick of time
honey i rose up from the dead i do it all the time
You are somebody that I don't know, but you're taking shots at me like it's petron
and i'm just like damnnn it's 7 a.m.
She wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts. she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers!
Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain
cuz i see sparks fly whenever you smile
say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress
staring at the sunset babe, red lips and rosy cheeks
cuz all the boys in their expensive cars
in their range rovers and their JaGuarS, never took me quite where you do
and there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear
have i known you 20 seconds or 20 years
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name, so in love that you act insane, and that's the way I love you
Ohh, holding my breath, Won't see you again
something keeps me holding on to nothing!!
Looking at it now last December we were built to fall apart
and fall back together, ooh your necklace hanging from my neck, the night we couldn't quite forget
Knew i was a robber first time that he saw me
stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
and when we had that fight out in the rain
you ran after me and called my name
It takes everything in me just to get up each day
But it's womderful to see that you're okay-ay
HELLO MR PERFECTLY FINE
see me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
and you're doing your best to avoid me
It's 2 a.m., in my room, headlights pass the window pane, i think of you
we're a crooked love in a straight line down, makes you wanna run and hide then it makes you turn right back around
And toying with them older guys just playthings for me to use
something happened for the first time in the darkest little paradise , shakin, pacin, i just need you
you know that i bought it, killing me slow
out the window, i'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
And I don't know how it gets better than this
you take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless!
and we kept everything professional, but something's changed
it's something i-i like, they keep watchful eyes on us, so it's best if we move fast and keep quiet
It's a scene and we're out here in plain sight
I can hear them whisper as we pass by, it's a bad sign
so baby can we dance oh through an avalanche
and say, say that we got it, I'm a mess but the mess that you wanted
chemistry til it blows up, til there's no us
why'd I have to break what i love so much? it's on your face, and I'm to blame, i need to say
