lyrics

We're kissing in the parking lot by the coffee shop
and I should be home by now, but I don't wanna stop
'Cause it's vulnerable and wonderful and such a rush
Bent over the bomb again with my wires crossed
You look so good in the red of the stoplight
You're holding my hand on the center console
and I can't shake the countdown 'til my contract is up
But you take my face in your hands, and it swallows me whole

Looking down at my hands, and I'm coming up empty
You said I'll sit here as long as you let me
But if this is our movie, spoil the ending for me
For me

You're looking at me like I've got all the answers
Like every equation is there on my face
and I'll beg you not to solve them, to turn away
'Cause when you crack the code, I can't give you a reason to stay

Looking down at my hands, and I'm coming up empty
You said I'll sit here as long as you let me
But if this is our movie, spoil the ending for me

Beautiful boy with your eyes on fire
Under the sun with my face tilted skyward
Dancing alone in the middle of the night
For the first time, I'm not scared to fall
Out of the desert and into the ocean
Laughing at holes in our own little boat
When you see me coming, send up the smoke
and I'll nosedive deep and risk it all for you

I should be home by now
