Nothing Ever Happened

Loose lips might sink ships but, loose kisses take trips
To San Francisco, double dutch disco
Do it for Scotty
Do it for the living and do it for the dead
Do it for the monsters under your bed
Do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom
Broken hearts hurt but, they make us strong and...
We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again
Just pretend that nothing ever happened

We're just dancing,
We're just hugging, singing, screaming, kissing, tugging on the sleeve of how it used to be
How's it gonna be?

So if you wanna burn yourself, remember that I love you
And if you wanna cut yourself, remember that I love you
And if you wanna kill yourself, remember that I love you
Call me up before your dead, we can make some plans instead
I'll be your friend

Shysters live from scheme to scheme and my fourth quarter pipe dreams are seeming more and more worth fighting for
So I'll curate some situations, make my job a big vacation
My war paint is sharpie ink and I'll show you how much my shit stinks and I'll ask you what you think because your thoughts and words are powerful

They think we're disposable well,
We won't stop until somebody calls the cops
And even then we'll start again and just pretend that nothing ever happened

Nothing ever happened
We're just dancing,
We're just hugging, singing , screaming, kissing, tugging on the sleeve of how it used to be
