We could be away from here
Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know
But a borrowed car just might
There's enough for a hotel room
"I want to stay in and get wet with you."
Why do you take the opposite view?
We could be different people tonight
Who do you want to choose?
I'll book a table in a suit and tie
And you can wear your sister's shoes
Which cities shall we travel through?
But no, no, no, you say "You just got paid,
Money's not for wasting it's for holding on to."
Why do you take the opposite view?
Is it something in your nature
That makes it hard to say, "Baby, I do."
When someone says they love you
But you don't have to take
We can walk on the roofs tonight
And watch the midnight traffic flow
Unscrew the light bulbs babe,
And we'll throw them from the 14th floor
If we don't do something new
But you just laugh and start filling up my glass
Why do you take the opposite view?
Every precious second is a chance to change
The present tense is perfect baby,
