lyrics

You think it’s ethically suspicious
to bring someone into a world like this
but you’ve got the best smile
anyone could ask to inherit
and baby I know you’re so good with kids

You’re my worst survival strategy
last safety match I’ve got to light up
Happy Anniversary
I’m happy as I’ll ever be
and I still wanna
make love in this club

I’ve been stealing pies from windowsills
double-triple backflip off the high dive
bribing you back to me with sugar cubes
but is that really such a crime?

Cause baby you’re a time bound entity,
event, like me—
and we’re the party of the century
That makes you like a sunset
that makes like a snowstorm
that makes you like a drought
that makes you
like a war
