Intro: ---- x2
Verse 1:
All the boys voices cracking
Oh the moaning half tones
Come summertime we're
all the same age here
All the tension and the
terror Thin limbed gorgeous
green eyes smiling
And I'm going straight to hell
Refrain 1:
All the possibility and promise
just weighs on me so heavily and
Chorus:
I try but I'm
not convincing
Your lips they
pout and twist and
I die trying just to keep
myself from kissing you
You take in everything
with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing please
Interloude: ---- x2
Verse 2:
Darling All of these
awkwardjumpstartstalling conversations
Mean much more to me than any-thing
It comes down to me and you
And whether we're supposed to or
not We still will We're so
much better off than them
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
Interlude: C#m--A--G#m-A-B--
Bridge:
look laugh smile second
Passes by and I regret it
Words just aren't right
Sometimes I just can't explain
All the ways you devastate
me Always on my mind
(Repeat Chorus twice)
