Use your knees to drive
I'll make it worth your while
Just let me taste the sky
You pressed your mouth on mine
And fed me a star
Then said "we never can truly know who we are"
Who we are
With the lights out and the night inside
The broken radio was playing suicide
I felt myself falling
I confessed to you "I saw a body"
You said you'd seen a few
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion
That you've not abandoned now's the time
We'll burn to best the morning's son
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
The gun
Keep the top down
Use your knees to drive
I'll hide these words
They're only yours to find
Your pressed your mouth on mine
And said they'd call us stars
Then said "we never can truly know who we are"
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion
That you've not abandoned now's the time
We'll burn to best the morning's son
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
Everything was burning bright
Everyone was frightened
You said stay strong
Everybody knowing that we'd invited still remains when we're gone
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion
That you've not abandoned now's the time
We'll burn to best the morning's son
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun, oh
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion
That you've not abandoned now's the time
We'll burn to best the morning's son
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun
The gun
I'll bring the gun, oh
