lyrics

Thirty degrees every day, stays hot forever up this way
City Cats out on the river amplify my sense of place
Been a long, long summer
Crash out on the sofa like we do
I'm never bored when I'm with you

You can never go home again
Stay at arms length from your old friends
We can just pretend we don't need them where we're going
Stay out super late, visit every state
The scrapes we get into
I'll always worry about you

All I'm looking for is a good reason to be nervous
All I want is to feel for a moment like nothing in the world can hurt us
All I want is something worth it

Can't live in just one moment, got so much in my mind
I try to figure out the future while keeping one eye fixed behind
Make each other better, exert bad influence forever
Can't make sense of what we do
I'm not as fun without you

All I'm looking for is a good reason to be nervous
All I want is to feel for a moment like nothing in the world can hurt us
All I want is something worth it

The bridges in this city cross and tangle, effervescent
The weeks slip down like wine, I try to focus on the present
The river's murky even in the sun, so wide and so flat
We are not perfect, wouldn't ever want to be like that
