What Are We

Let’s put it in context
You say we’ve been “talking”
Eleven weeks now
We’ve been a cat inside a box
Are we living, dead, or lost
Oh, we barely speak now
You say I’m unprepared
Nothing gets by you
I’ll admit I’m scared
Baby so are you
And in a million years
Will the stars align?
Or will I still be here
At the starting line
If you don’t, if you don’t want me
Let me leave with my pride
But baby, what are we? What are we? What are we?
Look at my, look at my face now
Tell me we’ll be alright
If I missed it, I’m sorry, but baby, what are we?
While we’re telling white lies
I can say that I tried
What about you?
Dance around the question
Dancing with our eyes shut
Just like we used to
You say I’m unprepared
Nothing gets by you
I’ll admit I’m scared
Baby so are you
And in a million years
Will the stars align?
Or will I still be here
At the starting line
If you don’t, if you don’t want me
Let me leave with my pride
But baby, what are we? What are we? What are we?
Look at my, look at my face now
Tell me we’ll be alright
If I missed it, I’m sorry, but baby, what are we?
Are you thinking
What I’m thinking?
Are you thinking
What I’m thinking?
If you don’t, if you don’t want me
Let me leave with my pride
But baby, what are we? What are we? What are we?
Look at my, look at my face now
Tell me we’ll be alright
If I missed it, I’m sorry, but baby, what are we?

Headfirst into something new
But we're not getting there with that attitude
So come on, come on, it can't get worse
Take a deep breath, headfirst
Walk around in the house where you were born like a ghost
You run your fingers through my hair and I try to casually laugh at your jokes
We can talk about it later, we can work it out
Focus on the way the words come tumbling out of my mouth
If you want to leave
You only have to say
I'm pretty sure there's something in the water
But I don't want to think about it
Headfirst into something new
But we're not getting there with that attitude
So come on, come on, it can't get worse
Take a deep breath, headfirst
Our love is the smell in the air right before it rains
Going down in an earlier round but I can take a beating, I can take the blame
We can talk about it later, we can work it out
Focus on how comfortable my name is tumbling out of your mouth
If you want to leave
You only have to say
I swear to god there's something in the water
But I don't want to think about it
Headfirst into something new
But we're not getting there with that attitude
So come on, come on, it can't get worse
Take a deep breath, headfirst
I think there's something in the water
Pretty sure there's something in the water
I think there's something right there in the water
I think there's something right there beneath our feet
I think there's something in the water
It's obvious there's something in the water
We all know that there's something right there in the water but I don't want to think about it
Headfirst into something new
But we're not getting there with that attitude
So come on, come on, it can't get worse
Take a deep breath, headfirst

Summer
The lights are all green in the summer
And I feel 16 with you shotgun
With an itch in the back of my mind, back of my mind, back at my
Apartment
Yeah you're actually here in my apartment
And I know it must be real but I'm guarded
No I'm not gonna lose it this time, lose it this time, I get so
Emotional, tripping over my own heart
Get high, get low, minutes apart
I know I gotta get out of my own way but I'm so
Emotional, tripping over my own heart
Listen
Would you wanna -- wait, give me a minute
Through my blood all of it swimming
As my software glitches again, losing function, can't make a
Decision
Not a left on read but a decision
Pushing this tired heart out to the limit
No I'm not gonna lose it this time, lose it this time, I get so
Emotional, tripping over my own heart
Get high, get low, minutes apart
I know I gotta get out of my own way but I'm so
Emotional, tripping over my own heart
I'm stuck in my head again, building a castle
I'm stuck in my head again, planning disaster
I'm stuck in my head again, building a castle
I'm stuck in my head again, planning disaster
Emotional, tripping over my own heart
Get high, get low, minutes apart
I know I gotta get out of my own way but I'm so
Emotional, tripping over my own heart

Ella, Tay and Jack
The prom queen and the quarterback
They all beg for it
With a flick and a swish of these killer hips
Anyway, this is just to say
I understand if you can’t handle this
But if you wanna get a little scandalous
Woah-ohh
They’re gonna see us for miles
We’ll make true believers of the liars and cheaters
Oh they’re gonna see us for miles
Put on your face and your fancy clothes
Entre dans notre chateau
Board up the windows, lock the doors
All the kids on the lawn down on all fours
We got a message for the campus king
Your jealousy’s not flattering
We invented this club and everyone in it
We’re gonna rattle their doors at the city limits
Anyway, this is just to say
I understand if you can’t handle this
But if you wanna get a little scandalous
Woah-ohh
They’re gonna see us for miles
We’ll make true believers of the liars and cheaters
Oh they’re gonna see us for miles
What gets you up gets you down
Ain’t it funny how
We’ve been laughing at you
What gets you up gets you down
Ain’t it funny how
You can’t handle our moves
What gets you up gets you down
Ain’t it funny how
We’ve been laughing at you
What gets you up gets you down
Sing it louder now
You can’t handle our moves
Anyway, this is just to say
It’s effortless how we just wipe the floor
Got all the cool kids down begging for more
Woah-ohh
They’re gonna see us for miles
We’ll make true believers of the liars and cheaters
Oh they’re gonna see us for miles

Flashback

Last night we danced until our feet got blisters
I rocked that crop top that you got from your sister
You held my hand so sweet and casually
I’d never gone from stop to start so quickly
And our bodies shake like oooh
Electrical waves like oooh
We’re gonna do it all again
Gonna sell myself, gonna show my skin
Woohoo, we’re gonna be alright
We’re gonna do it all again
Gonna sell myself, gonna show my skin
And we’re gonna be alright
We’re flashing neon animals tonight
Flashback, 11th Street with the barlights blinking
I swear you turned back with a look and a wink and
Some nights we play like we’ve got all the time in the world
Put our warpaint on, sing a fighting song
Think of something to say like oooh
Electrical waves like oooh
We’re gonna do it all again
Gonna sell myself, gonna show my skin
Woohoo, we’re gonna be alright
We’re gonna do it all again
Gonna sell myself, gonna show my skin
And we’re gonna be alright
We’re flashing neon animals tonight
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I worship at my own feet baby
We’re gonna do it all again
Gonna sell myself, gonna show my skin
Woohoo, we’re gonna be alright
We’re gonna do it all again
Gonna sell myself, gonna show my skin
And we’re gonna be alright
We’re flashing neon animals tonight
