Young & Dumb (April 17, 2011)

Let's meet up after sundown
You and me and everyone we know
Mix tapes and twenty questions
Young and dumb and ready to go
I'll raise my hand and point the way to where we want to go
If nothing else it's something new
Come follow me to freedom
They need someone to lead them
We'll do the best that we can do

Let's drive out to the country
Climb to the top of the tallest tree
Write our names on each other's bodies
We're in good company
I think I love you just like you were part of me
I want to run away with you
You're telling me to cheer up
I smile and start to tear up
But it's the best that I can do

Let's break into the country club
Let's take off all our clothes
Let's swim underneath the full moon
Dance until daylight and see how it goes
We have everything we need
You and me and an open field at twenty minutes after two
You're just my kind of people
You're the right kind of evil
And you're the best that I can do

Let's drive back to the diner
Slump down in the corner booth
Hash browns and endless coffee
Nothing but sunrise and the truth
I'll kiss you on the lips and drop you off at six
I'll call you some time after two
My smile won't go away
I wouldn't want that anyway
This is the best I'll ever do
