Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drank too much and that's an issue but I'm okay
Hey, tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
I know it breaks your heart
I moved to the city in a broke-down car and
Four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar and
I-I-I can't stop
No, I-I-I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in boulder
We ain't ever getting older
Oooooh, we ain't ever getting older
You, look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Oooh, stay, and play that blink-182 song
That we beat to death in tuscon, okay
I know it breaks your heart
I moved to the city in a broke-down car and
Four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar and
I-I-I can't stop
No, I-I-I can't stop
So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in boulder
We ain't ever getting older
Oooooh, we ain't ever getting older
I used to believe
We were burning on the edge of something beautiful, something beautiful
Selling a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting on a miracle, on a miracle
No, we ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
Oooh, we ain't ever getting older
Oooh, we ain't ever getting older
