It's unclear now, what we intend

We're alone in our own world

You don't wanna be my boyfriend

And I don't wanna be your girl
[Refrão]

And that, that's a relief

We'll drink up our grief

And pine for summer

And we'll buy beer to shotgun

And we'll lay in the lawn

And we'll be good

And I welcome the sentiment

And we talk on the phone at night

Until it's daylight

Yeah you're half asleep

Say goodnight

Because that, that gets messy

And you will hurt me

And our guards will give way

And we'll be good
A E Bm D (4x)
