[Lyric] Pirates (Spoon and the Forkestra)

You’re sweaty and your nose is bleeding
Your eyes are wide, your chest is heaving
I know this is your favourite feeling
You love the night ‘cause you love dreaming

You didn’t sleep since I last saw you
The universe was made just for you
Glass breaking on the pavement floor
You hold me tight, you don’t need more

“Hey, can I tell you a secret?”
“I’d rather you keep it
Instead tell me your favourite lie”
“Alright but only one last time”

It’s summer in sad people town
You jump and I hope you don’t drown
You yell, “get in it’s fucking warm!”
I trust you but I don’t know what for

“Hey, can I tell you a secret?”
“I’d rather you keep it
Instead tell me my favourite lie
Please just leave it one last time”
“Can I tell you a secret?”
What if I don’t believe it?
What if it makes me cry?

Your voice cuts through the sticky silence
“Let’s build a boat, let’s just be pirates
And fuck up everyone we hate
Let’s do it now or it’s too late”

“Hey, can I tell you a secret?”
“I’d rather you keep it
Instead tell me my favourite lie
Or I will tell the sun to rise!”

“Can I tell you a secret?”
“What if I don’t believe it?
What if it makes me smile?”
“You’re right, let’s just go back inside.”
