[Verse 1]
We could turn the lights out, lying with the blankets up
Listening to trucks pass underneath the street lamps
[Pre-Chorus]
We could sleep or stay up, wake up when the light's up
Just before the sun cracks over through the rooftops
This shouldn’t work, but it does
Didn't expect to spend the night but I'm in your arms
No, this shouldn’t work, but it does
Didn't expect to spend the night but I'm in your arms
[Chorus]
Your backseat's piled up with gym clothes and makeup

We knew we could stay up, wake up when the light's up
Just before the sun cracks over through the rooftops

Didn’t expect to spend the night but I’m in your arms
[Chorus]
Your backseat's piled up with gym clothes and makeup
In your car, I fall asleep, pass out in the front seat
On the pavement, you were on my mind, half ocean and half sky
Half shore and half tide, now I’m free
[Outro]
Isn't it just like life
To tell you you're not who you thought you were
It's not what you thought it was, you should feel free
Isn’t it just like life
To tell you you're not who you thought you were
It's not what you thought it was, you should feel free
