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 Two * 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
