lyrics

Wasting our Sundays, drunk under streetlights, laughing
Passing these nights away, and it wastefully feels
so perfect.

We got nowhere to be, we've got no one to answer to but you and me
We've got nothing to show for the hours we've spent on the floor
but we're happy.

I know they can't understand why we're so in love with this sort of life
and we'll never contend that we're lost in love and drunkenly lucid
I can't understand why they're so caught up in other people's lives
I just gotta remember that there's nothing wrong with being, lost in love

We spent the last 3 days,
in the comfort of your comforter and this lazy haze
we're not leaving for anything, except to maybe get some more to drink
cuz we're alone and we're in love and it's the perfect day to snub
the world out there
And we'll make love and sleep and forget about the things
that they want us to care about.

I know they can't understand why we're so in love with this sort of life
and we'll never contend that we're lost in love and drunkenly lucid
I can't understand why they're so caught up in other people's lives
I just gotta remember that there's nothing wrong with being, lost in love
