We have been sleeping with the lights on Just about every night Because we are afraid of what the dark might bring I know, I know it's just a childish fear That grows and grows wild in the middle of me
I'm gonna get a new tattoo Black and stretching around my arm Like a life that is visible and real I know, I know it's stupid and immature I just want to give shape to the face That twists inside both you and me
Breathing fire -- doesn't look good on a resume Neither does anything else we do We got to get ready for the real world Yeah yeah we got to grow up
You know I like to die for awhile Everyday in the afternoon I like to let the arms of a bar Wrap around me tight I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth Big drink above my head Cross eyed and smiling as I watch the world Go twisting by
I don't want to die with you Or live in the same dark room I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more I just want to take this girl -- all curls and big brown eyes Man I can't take the pain of wanting her, needing her
I know the secret of your soul And I just don't want to know -- Yeah, man we got to grow up
