what if we skipped town and got a place start a new life in a new state an apartment down by the sea cuz I know how you love the beach we could decorate it how we want with comfy chairs and some nice art and I hope our home has a view of the sunrise to share with you if we, were a little older you and me, could start our lives over if only we, were a little older you and me, could start this over what if we quit our jobs and dropped out of school? started living how we want to who cares what our friends would think, we don't need our parents' blessing cuz the ocean is calling our names, let's go tonight and get away. then I'll wake up right by your side, oh baby, "wouldn't it be nice"? if we, were a little older you and me, could start our lives over if only we, were a little older you and me, could start this over

late night, getting drunk by the fire can't drive, or even walk for that matter cold wind, looking for a new lover day's end, she takes me under the covers let's go inside and cuddle up on this cold night or we could get high, and you can show me what you like I'm gone, don't even know what I'm doing pass out, save my worries for the morning wake up, share a cigarette in bed fell numb, my chest is warmed by her head let's go inside and cuddle up on this cold night or we could get high, and you can show me what you like

I know you're looking for the perfect guy, but can't you see me by your side? it's been a couple years since I last cried, but emotion's pouring out my eye you say you can't shake this feeling but, can't you see my heart bleeding? you've got me here begging, I'm pleading, if only you could picture what I'm seeing... can I change your mind? is it too late to try? you told me I'm not to blame here but that doesn't make it any easier, I know you don't wanna cause pain dear, but I'm broken without you laying here I just wish you knew what to do in a way that keeps me with you, you're the one I don't wanna lose so please slip off those BREAKUP SHOES® can I change your mind? is it too late to try?

I don't know what's wrong with me, nothing I do can make them see that although I'm weirdly self-aware, that I'm the person who really cares but you and me, we talked for hours walked around and got you flowers free spirit and an artist too, I've been for someone like you not sure if we could call it a date, but I love your stories and how we relate just when I thought it was going swell, said you're "not looking for romance," but hell, if you were you say it would be with me, just not the time for you start anything I guess I'll take the consolation prize, but what the fuck was that look in your eyes? I'm a mess, I don't know how to impress, anyone and I don't want us to just be friends I really believed you were into me, I guess I'm a fool, you're so tricky I really believed you were into me I guess you fooled everyone I'm a mess, I don't know how to impress, anyone and I don't want us to just be friends

opposite polarity of emotions in me happiness is fleeting, self-loathing starts leading I'm having trouble breathing, I hate this awful feeling of staring at the ceiling, when will I stop bleeding? oh, melancholy mentality opposite polarity of mood swings in me happiness is fleeting, self-hatred starts leading I'm having trouble breathing, I hate this goddamn feeling of staring at the ceiling, when will I start healing? oh, melancholy mentality

Natural 03:38
we accidentally stayed up all night, cuz when I'm with you I lose track of time scaled up a mountain and sipped some wine, now I can't seem to get you out of my mind never knew it could feel this natural never knew it could be oh, so simple spending nights together came so easy hands intertwined, we walked through the gallery dinner at the diner then laugh at the TV, day after day with your arms wrapped around me never knew it could feel this natural never knew it could be oh, so simple

I was just sitting outside with my charming valentine, we can't help but crack a smile don't say a word just stay awhile lovely day to watch the clouds race lovely day, nothing I'd change we could go get a tattoo of our broken hearts mended with glue, enjoying this simple life with a darling friend by my side lovely day to watch the clouds race lovely day, nothing I'd change
