Eternal Bliss

We drove the mercedes I’d saved up for
The one with the motorcycle dent in the door
Pushing triple figures we both start to sing
‘If I can dream’ by the king
And that’s my favourite song
I live for the line
When he growls and kind of cries
All at the same time

Partners in crime
Bonnie and clyde
You took your porn-star shoes
Along for the ride
Your open mouth
Makes me think like a sinner
As you fix your lipstick in the rear-view mirror
And some of my thoughts
Would make the devil blush
Half the things you say
Would make my mother blush

I’m not looking for eternal bliss
I’m just looking for moments like this

We wrote the script to the movie we were in
I was james dean
And you were marilyn
I was only half-joking when I said it was a dream
To die quick
Hurled through a windscreen
And I’ll never forget
The answer you gave
You said, 'it would be like drowning
On the crest of a wave

I’m not looking for eternal bliss
I’m just looking for moments like this
