lyrics

The nights were all electronic, the earth was a pixilated comet, my voice was all ones and zeroes til you showed up. This whole goddamn city is a desert, the air is suffocating, it's aching with desperation. Yeah, I'm all choked up now, I'm all choked up now. Now that you're the lyric I could never cross out, yeah, you're the book I could never put down. I'm just scared when I wake up in the next town, you'll forget I was ever there at all. Oh, she gets cleaned up and I'm stuck in time. "Let's get out of here, let's get out of here. Oh, let's not wait too long, let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here." I said, "Oh, there'd be nothing in our way, like swimming in the ocean, you could just keep on going, so let's just keep going." But we just drift through the night, drinking all we can. Yeah, we drank all we can, yeah, didn't we, love? Yeah, we tried to forget: soon we'd be just tears in airport terminals, gasping for breath. And when the dawn crept up, my eyes refused to adjust to this empty bed as that silence poured in. I said, "Oh, let's get out of here." I said, "Oh, let's get out of here." I said, "Oh, let's not wait too long, let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here." So kiss me. Let's skip town.
