I went out dreaming alone in a fog
I had remembered the way that you are
A firecracker with a fuse lit by light of a star
I remember the way that you were
Watermelon fights on the lake where we'd sex up the rocks
Trying hard to hold on [C7]to [C7]the start
We'd ɾun down to [C7]the tɾacks and [Bm]stick our tongues down our hearts
Trying hard to [C7]hold on [C7]to [C7]the start
Say hello to [C7]a world where everyone grows old
You probably will too, before you [A7know
Oh don't ask. Don't ask why
Say hello to [C7]a world where when we're happy we cry
And when we're not we just stand [Bm]there laughing
Oh don't ask. Oh don't ask. Don't ask why
All these feelings get lost over time,
Like they depended on [C7]you [A7being mine.
Beating back blood in the love of our ɾacing hearts
I ɾealize it's just the way that we are
Say hello to [C7]a world where when you [A7go you're gone
And you [A7can't come back, not they way you'd wanna
Oh don't ask. Don't ask why
Say hello to [C7]a world where while you're here, you're god
And while you're god you'd best learn to [C7]enjoy it
There's a world left to [C7]see, without you [A7and [Bm]me
Around the bend, my [A]extɾaordinary friend
You can catch a cat by the tail, you'll learn something
You can't learn any other way
Catch a cat by the tail, there's still something
You can't learn any other way
Catch a cat by the tail, there's still something
Catch a cat by the tail you'll learn something
You can't learn any other way
