	They say it looks like the devil must be beating his wife He got shitfaced, forgot to kill the lights And that poor woman must never be surprised She must like his company, or just might like to cry So for all I know were getting soaked in tears I don’t know even half of what’s down here After the sun sets we empty the pitchers Making the grass sweet like vanilla cola kisses On our heads in the summer when there was nothing to do It keeps on raining and we get sober soon Aren’t we grown up, aren’t we so damn scared Spent our whole lives trying to get back there Drive downtown while the airs still thick, Point out that nice house where everyone could live With the days and words we carelessly spent, like sophomore fortunes on cheap cigarettes It’s nothing now but it once meant the world See things like we’ve never seen before On the fourth of july we fly through the heat Riding our bikes down the very same streets Where the beach town old folk claim they used to dance Like the heat lightening shadows of some kids holding hands They say they don’t regret a thing they did They still remember us as little kids
