Freeze!
It's time to take you home
It feels so early
But I promised I would bring you to your door
Now our lips are numb!
As we walk, sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer
I hope you like the stars I stole for you
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue
I'll be the brightest someday!
I'll be the brightest someday!
I'll be the brightest, you'll see!
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing
The boy on the blue Moon dreams of Sun
Now as the rain falls
Like shattered pieces of glass from the sky
We bleed like watercolors
And drunken pastels down the stairways
And I ask myself, " Why do I still pray?
When will it end? And who fucking cares? "
I swear to God I did what I could
I practically begged you
I pretended everything was fine
A soul sacrifice
An American nightmare
I'd rather be dead
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing
The boy on the blue Moon hears a nightmare in his head
I'll bet you money
As you're running to the bathroom
You barely started drinking
But your beauty never stopped you
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should have loved you
But I do forever 'cause you loved me
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street!
If you were gonna leave this world
How could it be without me?
Now it's all over my tongue and still, it has no taste
'Cause without you there is no me
There's no me at all
Sometimes love dies like a dog
(Why don't we just let this one take care of itself?)
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing
The boy on the blue Moon dreams
Don't rain on my parade
I'm losing a perfect thing, a perfect thing
A perfect thing
