nite swim

Love, meet me in the garden or the backseat of your car
Oh, the nosy neighbors aren't wrong, star-crossed love, we are
I'm not fit to be a mother, oh, but baby, when you smile
I can see us for forever with one beautiful but suicidal child

Literary legends, skip the poison, straight to heaven
Oh, it's hell when you leave (hell when you leave)

I wanna go for a nite swim
Somewhere in the hills with a big backyard
Go for a nite swim
Be the Romeo and the Juliet of our generation
Except without the dying and the devastation
Infatuation, oh, without the miscommunication

Our poor friends were too wasted to pace themselves
Too much, too fast, too soon
Oh, baby, take a bullet then I'll take you to my room (room)

Literary legends, skip the poison, straight to heaven
Oh, it's hell when you leave (when you leave)

I wanna go for a nite swim
Somewhere in the hills with a big backyard
Go for a nite swim
Be the Romeo and the Juliet of our generation
Except without the dying and the devastation
Infatuation, oh, without the miscommunication

We can do better than all of the stories
Of lovers before me and you (you, you)
Oh, read every letter, and rip up their pages
'Cause nothing is sacred but you
And you're not holy
Unless you hold me

And take it home for a nite swim
Somewhere in the hills with a big backyard
Go for a nite swim
Be the Romeo and the Juliet of our generation
Except without the dying and the devastation
Infatuation, oh, without the miscommunication
