Tonight
I ran into the kid who's been upgrading all the stuff
You're right
He really knows his shit
A real diamond in the rough
Funny little inside my head
So tell me
He doesn't seem your type but is there something i should know?
Don't lie
Are you trying to hide that special love?
Back then
I know one thing you liked was my flatline attitude
I think
You'll never fall for this type of dude
Funny little
You the new breed alright
I guess you're what she wants now
You're young and strong and you own the night
Good luck to you both, i'll get along somehow
I get it
You look at me and think he's ready for jurassic park
He's sweet
But it's time to find a keener spot
I guess
I'll make my exit now before you twist the knife
It's best
If i just leave you here til your new
Funny little
You the new breed alright
I guess you're what she wants now
You're young and strong and you own the night
Good luck to you both, i'll get along somehow
