I called us a force of nature once Cos it was just so true And when I act like a fucking tornado You say, “my god, that’s just so you” I know I’m crazy about you still I know you must be too I think we’re crazy underneath it all We’re a storm that just blew through I could never forget how much I care I could never forget that you were there In all the crucial happy poignant moments in my life And I could never cut myself free from you even with the sharpest knife Cos we are joined at the hip and joined at the waist Put my arms around your neck, let’s make a total disgrace Of ourselves in public (Yeah that’s our favourite trick) We’re dancing like mad to a band you don’t even like If you freeze the moment and someone handed me a mic I would tell the world about those damn girls That I’m obsessed with (Just try and shut me up) And it’s going to be fucking mayhem If you agree let me hear you scream “amen” This is the same song with a different tune It’s the same old love song I’ve always sung to you My stupid girls You’re my stupid girls And I’m not going anywhere without you Cos we’ve got so much to do Just wait till we get started You know it’s true That if I loved you anymore I’d lose my mind It’s possible I already have, I’d lose my mind You know it’s not me, I’d never leave a man behind It’s possible I’m never gonna let you go I’m just gonna be locked up some day Babbling in quotes that we used to say I’m gonna make no sense to anyone And that’s a promise, that’s just my two cents I’ll never ever ever ever get over you

I set up the camera so I could watch my life back And marvel at it, baby, I think you gave me a heart attack Cos I can’t breathe, cos I’m laughing so intensely We already know where this one goes, so lets dispense with the pleasantries Pleasantries If the moon never rises The day never ends If the sun never dies Then the night never descends Look through the lens Reality can be intense I’d rather lose my mind, my friends Oh, let’s go crazy, playing pretend If we really started a cult, then you know we’d all go mad with power Fantasy is so sweet that the day to day tastes sour These dreams are memories, who needs reality, my dear? He’ll never take em from me, the gravedigger of my teenager years Teenage years If the moon never rises The day never ends If the sun never dies Then the night never descends Look through the lens Reality can be intense I’d rather lose my mind, my friends Oh, let’s go crazy, playing pretend If I could turn back time, you know I’d do it all again the same way Have words with fate, make sure she never lets this thing go sideways If I could escape, you know I wouldn’t, you’ve got me, lock and key Let’s stay delusional, for that you can always count on me The moon never dies The day never descends The sun never rises The night never pretends Look through, my friends Reality can be the lens I’d rather lose my mind intensely Let’s go playing, crazy in the end

When you don't know Do you go through with it? When you don’t know Oh oh oh oh oh When you’re painfully shy When it’s 2009 When the sun shines out of your friends eyes But I'm so glad X3 That I went through with it X3 That I went through with you With you You're my evergreen You endure, and I'm so sure That I'll still be here in 3009 When the cat’s gone How the mice do play How did we get out of those mad times? Without a serious case of tooth decay Should I compare thee, To a summer’s day? Even when we’re not on fire We still glow like embers on a lazy Sunday My evergreen You endure, and I'm so sure That it was meant to be We endure and I get surer That I'll still be here in 3009 To recall the best of times Back then in 2009 The dream came alive It was the summer of our lives Oh oh oh oh oh Back then in 2010 You were my best friends We all kind of gave up the pretence Of needing anyone else Back then in 2011 We dreamed of making movies So aimless but driven Hey, that was living Wasn’t it? Back then in 2012 We put our dreams on the highest shelf So we could stare up at them Give us something to grow into Back then in 2013 Our lives were a fucking teenage dream You could never shut us up Cos we’d never stop screaming Back then in 2014 We walked at midnight Things were bittersweet And our seams Were a little unstitched it seems Back then in 2015 We messed around like the boys that we saw on the screen And laughed and cringed At the obscenity It was insanity Back then in 2016 I’m starting to forget the way it played out But like the evergreen We endured We stayed clean Back then in 2017 We were much less ambitious Listening to your playlist while doing the dishes Your kitchen floor was so fucking cold How did it never get old? Back then in 2018 In the flash of the camera we glowed and gleamed And we sat on the hood of an abandoned car Almost got hit on the corner and laughed for hours Back then in 2019 I filmed our lives while we caused a scene At every single graveyard and abandoned house In the fucking north east Back then in 2020 I didn’t see you but boy did we Have fun over video calls And time was stalled Back then in 2021 We made up for lost time by going out of our minds Talking to ghosts, doing our best Living at the behest of the madness Back then in 2022 They were kinda strange days but I still had you And you still had me And we’ve been trying new things lately Right now in 2023 You’re still the same two people to me Whether we drink wine in Paris Or sit in a carpark Getting high from eating too many sweets (Back in the cheap seats) Our supermarket aesthetic is a hard one to beat Back then in 2009 Did we know we'd have the time of our lives? Not everyone gets to have what we did And these days when you come around You know I'll be there X3 When you come around You know I’ll be there X2 You know I'll be there when we're underground
