We are two ships passing How long will this last We haven't had the time to work it out Sitting in the backseat Who knows where our paths meet And you keep shouting we've gotta work it out You gotta believe me when I say I know (Gotta work it out, it out) You aren't riding on this wave alone (Gotta work it out, it out) Gotta believe me when I say I know (Gotta work it out, it out) I already know I know I know I know Yell all that you want to I'll yell it right back to you Back and forth until we've tired out Temper into tempest Washes off the madness But we're still left with figuring shit out You gotta believe me when I say I know (Gotta work it out, it out) You aren't riding on this wave alone (Gotta work it out, it out) Gotta believe me when I say I know (Gotta work it out, it out) I already know I know I know I know The seeds of what you say all beg for reason Plant them deep so we can disregard them Just get out of your pretty little head You're just waking up to get back into bed The seeds of what you say all beg for reason Plant them deeply so we can release them Been listening to every word you said You're just waking up to get back into bed You know I'm riding on this wave alone You know I'm riding on this wave alone You aren't riding on this wave alone I already know I know I know I know Gotta believe me when I say I know Already know I know I know I know Alright Already know I know I know I know

My love is like a hit and run, but I come back Blue eyes and summer fun, a heart attack It was never enough The summer of love It was nothing It was never enough The summer of love It was, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

I know I shouldn't want to But every time I'm with you I feel like I could fall apart Like dancing with a broken heart Your love is like a smoking gun, right in my path Earthquakes and butterflies, do you feel that? It was never enough The summer of love It was nothing It was never enough The summer of love It was, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Feels like second nature All this bad behaviour Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! I know I shouldn't want to But every time I'm with you I feel like I could fall apart (I feel like I could fall apart) Like dancing with a broken heart I just can't get enough I just can't get enough I just can't get enough I just can't get enough I just can't get enough I just can't get enough I just can't get Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Feels like second nature All this bad behavior Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! I know I shouldn't want to But every time I'm with you Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Feels like second nature Just a brush with danger Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

You wanna drive? Go take the keys Can't sit around in this make-believe This night might end unhappily There was a time I thought it could be Somebody stays, somebody leaves That bitter pill needs swallowing Bottom lip between your teeth Somebody else where I should be Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in Broken like the spell you're keeping Promises we can't believe in Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in Broken like the spell you're keeping Promises we can't believe in Why we even try to keep them? Objects are closer than they appear Growing in my eyes as fast as my fears Both my feet have fallen asleep Head to the dash in the passenger's seat I've been struck by your words like a train Hit with the way you left like rain hits the windowpane Not a drop at a time, but all at once Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in Broken like the spell you're keeping Promises we can't believe in Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in Broken like the spell you're keeping Promises we can't believe in Why we even try to keep them? Promises Broken like the spell you're keeping Promises we can't believe in Promises, empty like the bed you sleep in Broken like the spell you're keeping Promises we can't believe in Believe in Believe in Believe in Believe in
