Today's paper can burn in the firenThe headline should've stayednOnly while we know, the ink will never be drynnAnd applications and resumes pilenThe deadlines they can wait for a whilenWe took the telephone off the hooknnYour bedsheets, they tangle like vinesnand we wake and your feet touch mine, i shakenOnly cause they're ice coldnnThe avid summers where we swim all nightnand sleep through the daysnWhat a perfect way to spend our timenEvery watch has got a dead batterynYeah i know, i know, it could be over soonnSo let's make the best of this humid JunennThe record's spinning an old soul bandnWe dance and twirl and kiss 'til we can't stand upnUntil i, until i step on your feetnnYour guts bloom from a canvas in the hallnHalf-finished paintings can wait on the wall, untilnUntil it's time to repaint themnnEven if all the birds start a songnUpstairs we're sleeping at six in the morningnYou know we'll be humming alongnnThe avid summers where we swim all nightnand sleep through the daysnOh what a perfect way to waste our timenEvery clock has lost its chime and pacenCause every tourist wants a souvenir,njust to say baby, we were herenAnd all i want when you and i part waysnis to know we never had any fearsnnI can see it in your eyesnThat you're scared out of your mindnListen to me when i say that your future-sick(?)nI know what you don't wanna hearnLike a pistol shot ringing for yearsnListen to me when i say that you're future-sick(?)nnIf the world's a (?) of liesnLet the burden be mine, all minenUntil you know it's time to rethink things
