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
