Our Most Brilliant Friends

Sun is coming up slowly

I didn't read it in your star-sign or mine

God knows we're not holy

In decisions we make

And how we spend our time

But I got faster and faster

And you got harder to please

And you got harder to find

And our prayers were answered

When we wrote these songs

And we lost our minds

And all our most brilliant friends

Are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world

The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health

So just dance with me

Move your body round this time machine

Start it again

I want you to celebrate

The fact our bodies can recreate

New versions of ourselves

We won't need help

Something's making me nervous

Running through my body

Can't remember why

We thought we had all the answers

We got the stomach to learn

But haven't got the time

Your body looks good tonight

I wonder if you'd care

If I was still in your shirt

The way we were when we first met

Before your mind filled with air and mine with dirt

And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world

The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health

So just dance with me

Move your body round this time machine

Start it again

I want you to celebrate

The fact our bodies can recreate

New versions of ourselves

We won't need help

Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go!

You know that it's gonna take time don't ya?

You know that you never were right

But the fact is you're good

Yeah, we know that you're nice

But we don't get a world and we don't get a life

Where all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world

The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health

So just dance with me

Move your body round this time machine

Start it again, start it all again

I want you to celebrate

The fact our bodies can recreate

New versions of ourselves

We won't need help

Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go!

[Part 2]

If dreams come true

Then you and I would make a two

And if I had one more

I'd dream that I stayed on your floor

And while my parents were alive

They'd say 'Rebecca now's the time

To play the next card to your chest'

You thought about me and you said go

I thought about that and I said no

You couldn't understand why a girl like me

Thinks the way I do

But I can't stand a boy

Who thinks things through like you

Let's go back to the beginning

Of the nights that I've been regretting

Let's go back to the beginning

Of the nights I've been regretting

Now with you I always thought

We'd live behind a front door

Right now you don't think that

You can live anymore

And I'll call and call and call and call

And call and call and call

Anyone on the phone

So tonight I'm not alone

Let's go back to the beginning

Of the nights that I've been regretting

Let's go back to the beginning

Of the nights that I've been regretting

And you say baby you lied in your song

It takes all my courage not to sing along

And now my beating heart belongs to my drum

I met a boy who grew up in the mountains

He really loved God and got me thinking about things

Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend

Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the end

But I'm a quitter, I don't think he knew

That I'm still thinking about you

I'm a quitter and I'm ashamed

He said he'd come back for my brain

And you say baby you lied in your songs

It takes all my courage not to sing along

And now my beating heart belongs to my drum

I just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie

Or hang around with Laura, Jane, and Suzie

And I definitely want to be a rapper

But I'm just a northern girl from where nothing really happens

And the bones inside my shins are crumbling

The bones inside my shins are crumbling

The bones inside my shins are crumbling

The bones inside my shins are crumbling

The bones inside my shins are crumbling

It's from all the crunking I've been doing
