Be Your Boy

(album: But For All These Shrinking Hearts - 2015)

Can I just be your boy?
Drive me around in your father's car
Throwing my money down to the coin
Just to stay out for one more hour

And we don't care, we don't care
Watch the fathers collect the papers
We don't care, we don't care
Splitting this drink straight from the bottle

Can you just be my girl?
Using your pen to tie your hair up
And all of these dresses you will outgrow
Even though they fit you so well

And we don't care, we don't care
Watch the fathers collect the papers
We don't care, we don't care
Throwing my money down to the coin

And I will always be that boy
Scowling at the world, smiling for the girl
And you will always be that girl
Serious for all to see
I think you're funny though, I think you're funny for me

Looking at the lights on the water (shine on, shine on)
The future is a lake and it's still and waiting
And we were just sitting on the surface drinking (shine on, shine on)
And you said something that it made it break

And we don't care, we don't care
Watch the fathers collect the papers
We don't care, we don't care
Throwing my money down to the coin

And I still see our stare
And they're asleep in the back seat now
And how do we unbreak the surface?
And how do we get back somehow?

And we don't care, we don't care
Watch the fathers collect the papers
We don't care, we don't care
Splitting this drink straight from the bottle
And we don't care, we don't care
Watch the fathers collect the papers
We don't care, we don't care
Throwing my money down to the coin

And I will always be that boy
Scowling at the world, smiling for the girl
And you will always be that girl
Serious for all to see
I think you're funny though, I think you're funny for me
I will always be that boy
Scowling at the world, smiling for the girl
And you will always be that girl
Serious for all to see
I think you're funny though, I think you're funny for me
