lyrics

Blonde on blonde
and blue on blue
I don’t have the heart
to tell you the truth
so why can’t I
taste your tongue
I just wanna have fun
while I’m young

I dreamt a dream
but what’s the use?
Friends are better off
when they don’t have a clue
so why can’t I
hold you now
if you could hear my thoughts
you’d turn them down

So make the first move
cuz I’m terrified of losing you
my hands shake from the news
of the one you chose

Forget what I said
it was a slip of the tongue
so let's just go out
and fill up our lungs
with the first things
money can buy
and if I’m gonna die
I wanna die by your side
