Summer

We spent the morning in LA
Set off alarms and went insane
We knew our lives were gonna change
It got too warm to be outside
So we would only live at night
With such nice exposure
A big hug from the ocean

Summer's on its way
It seems our lives are gonna change
Let's be sober and intelligent tomorrow
(It's on fire!)
But first, we're gonna go out in the Sun
Run 'round and hope we can be kinder
With another war behind us

There isn't much here to preserve
You didn't come to save the world
But I'll be dirt if you'll be dirt
I love the madness in your eyes
I'd never thought to give you mine
But here we both surrender
Suckers for a perfect ending

Ten percent don't understand
Our nineties heads are in the sand
Eight billion tragedies at hand
Hold on
I lost the track

Today it's all amazing
Nearly 40 in the shade
Let's make music that is better when you're burning
Tonight we're gonna go out with a bang
We'll be the fireworks
With all of our mistakes erased forever

Seven sins to sell the fear
A sixties dream that disappeared
Five vetoes to not prepare
Four a change that doesn't care
Three worlds going up in flames
Not two much else to be explained
Just one emotion that remains
Hold on
I lost my balance

There isn't much left to be said
You didn't chase me till the end
But I'll pretend if you pretend
I love the madness in your eyes
I'd never thought to give you mine
But I'll be blind if you'll be blind

(It's on fire!)

Now summer's on its way
It seems our lives are gonna change
Let's be reasonable and careful in a decade
But first, we're gonna go out in the Sun
Run 'round and hope we can be kinder
When our cities are on fire
Now summer's on its way
I love you all, so will you stay here?
We'll be kinder than the stars we had to worship
All the ones who lied
But we didn't lie, we didn't fight
We didn't start the fire, no
So silver lining: We were right
We didn't start the fire if it counts
