lyrics

don't you think it's funny
that the sea just wants the city
that moon just wants the ocean
to reflect and just be pretty
i will teach you how to sing
if you will teach me how to sew
i will kiss you like a traffic jam
that's going somewhere slowly

don't you think it's magic
how the night can get romantic
how the lighting's kinda perfect
you're reflecting off the surface
and i wish that i was strong
then i would carry you away
i wish that i was brave enough
to mean the things i say

you jumped off of a mountain
just to prove to me you love me
and the hurricane is coming for us all
if we're not lucky
i will teach you how to duck
if you could warn me on the phone
don't be sad you're not special
be glad you are not alone
