Self-Preservation

Breakfast, sat on a Japanese mattress

Getting this happy takes practice

The world would be duller without us

Blacklist anyone who tries to attack this

They can say what they like but the fact is

They know nothing about us



And, yeah, we're a mess

But let me just stress

That we're both at our best in a tight spot

And whatever comes next

If we leave the nest

Don't settle for less than what we've got



Dive in: the summer is good to be alive in

Your boat was a long time arriving

And it's been a while since I kissed you

Timing: the temperature's high and it's climbing

How did I find the bind I'm in?

You haven't gone but I miss you



And, yeah, we're a mess

But let me just stress

That we're both at our best in a tight spot

And whatever comes next

If we leave the nest

Don't settle for less than what we've got

And right, here's what's left

And we've worked with less

I just don't get where the lines stop

Keep your cards pressed up close to your chest

And they'll never guess the hand we've got



Blacklist anyone who tries to attack this

They can say what they like but the fact is

They know nothing about us
