lyrics

Have you ever put your first with my last name before
Just to see how it would sound in your head
I have put my last with your first name dear
As I try to fall asleep in my cold bed
You're only twenty-one and I hope you don't care if
I'm the brand new bullet in the gun of a sheriff
I don't where I'm heading
But they tell me he's never missed a heart in a chest

And the greatest part
The greatest part
Oh the greatest part
Is we don't know that it ends

Streetlights shake like flags on the wind
In the blacktop puddles that we're dancing in
I can hold you tighter than the clouds hold the rain in the sky
You're covered in rain I'm covered in sin
I don't wanna tell you where my mind just went
But I wanna be the wet strand of hair caught between your lips

And the greatest part
The greatest part
Oh the greatest part
Is we don't know that it ends

Let's go out tonight
I love when snowflakes find your nose
We'll skate around on the thin ice
Until our clothes get soaked

And the greatest part
The greatest part
Oh the greatest part
Is we don't know that it ends
