We could be away from here
|
by ten o'clock tonight
|
Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know
|
but a borrowed car just might
|
Look through my wallet
|
There's enough for a hotel room
|
But no, no, no, you say
|
"I wanna 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
|
Look through my wallet
|
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 onto."
|
|
Why do you take the opposite view?
|
|
Is it something in your nature
|
that makes it hard to say, "Baby, I do."
|
You don't have to agree
|
when someone says they love you
|
But you don't have to take
|
the opposite view
|
|
We can walk on the roofs tonight
|
and watch the midnight traffic flow
|
Unscrew the lightbulbs babe,
|
and we'll throw them from the 14th floor
|
I say we're yellow
|
if we don't do something new
|
But you just laugh and start filling up my glass
|
as if it's not true.
|
|
Why do you take the opposite view?
|
|
Every precious second there's a chance to change
|
The present tense is perfect baby,
|
Let's rearrange it.
