[Intro]
Freeze!
[Verse 1]
It's time to take you home
It feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door
Now our lips are numb as we walk sharing warm alcohol
That kiss tastes like summer
I hope you like the stars I stole for you
One hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue
I'll be the brightest someday
I'll be the brightest someday
I'll be the brightest, you'll see
[Chorus]
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing, a perfect thing
The boy on the blue moon dreams of sun
[Verse 2]
(Now as the rain)
Now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky
We bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways
And I ask myself, why do I still pray?
When will it end? And who fucking cares?
I swear to God, I did what I could
I practically begged you
I pretended everything was fine
A soul sacrifice, an American nightmare
I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing (Oh), a perfect thing (Oh)
The boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head
[Verse 3]
I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom
You barely started drinking, but your beauty never stopped you
You died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should've loved you
But I do forever 'cause you loved me
And I break my glasses as I fall in the street
If you were gonna leave this world, how could it be without me?
Now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste
'Cause without you there is no me
[Bridge]
There's no me at all
Sometimes love (Sometimes love)
Love dies like (Love dies like)
Dies like a (Dies like a)
Love dies like a dog (Like a dog, like a dog)
(So, why don't we just let this one take care of itself?)
[Chorus]
Don't rain on my parade
It's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
Don't ruin a perfect thing (Oh), a perfect thing (Oh)
The boy on the blue moon dreams
[Outro]
Don't rain on my parade, woah, no
I'm losing a perfect thing (Oh), a perfect thing (Oh)
A perfect thing

Vic Fuentes in a track-by-track for AltPress:
“We went back to our SoCal punk roots for this song. The entire thing is punk beats and super-fast guitar work. It’s almost therapeutic for me to play, because it represents everything that we loved playing as kids. Mike [Fuentes] is the fastest single...
