Little Pink Houses
If we make it out of this one
Will you love me til our hearts stop
Maybe that don't mean much
Coming from this man out of time
I can hear you breathing
While he runs his mouth in rhythm
Let me be your hero then
You just give me the sign
Because these nights won't last forever
We got a hard stop at sunrise
We can dance in stormy weather
Or we learn to tow a line
But you always found me clever
And made my heart stop with those eyes
We can keep playing kids games whatever
Or color outside the lines
Of little pink houses
I know what you see in him
Big city lights in that grin
And the shady side you're missin?
Yeah, you know the type
You'll be a notch upon the bed post
I hear your heart break in stereo
Give me a reason though
I'll help you leave him behind
Because these nights won't last forever
We got a hard stop at sunrise
We can dance in stormy weather
Or we can learn to tow a line
But you always found me clever
And made my heart stop with those eyes
We can keep playing kids games whatever
Or color outside the lines
Of little pink houses
I want to show you how we kiss
And make the room just disappear
Suspended adolescence keeps me on the benches
And we always meet like this
When your eyeliner is a mess
Underneath the bleachers
Say you like my t-shirt
We'll bond over the smiths
And freshman english teachers
Because these nights won't last forever
We got a hard stop at sunrise
We can dance in stormy weather
Or we can learn to tow a line
But you always found me clever
And made my heart stop with those eyes
We can keep playing kids games whatever
Or color outside the lines
Of little pink houses
