Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In an empty room
Or a downtown bar
'Cross the universe
There's no place too far
Yeah, wherever you are
You and me
Thick as thieves
[Verse 2]
Well, it ain't always pretty
Sometimes it got rough
Could have thrown the towel in
And thrown our hands up
Seems like we've always been
And always will be
Thick as thieves
[Chorus]
Time
Time won't ever drag us down
You, me, us
Ain't looking back or turning around
It's classic boy meets girl
With our backs against the world
You and me
Thick as thieves
[Verse 3]
In a world without faith
You're what I believe
When they're stacking the deck
You're the card up my sleeve
In my hour of need
You and me, yeah
Thick as thieves
[Verse 4]
And that
Are all that's left behind us now
You, me, us
Ain't looking back or turning around
It's classic boy meets girl
With our backs against the world
You and me
Thick as thieves
[Bridge]
If I robbed a bank
You wouldn't care
You'd come sit on my lap
In the electric chair
And when they'd flipped the switch
Huh, we'd just kiss
[Chorus]
I know nothing's gonna stop us now
You, me, us
On the edge and never looking down
Oh, what's a boy to do?
It's classic me and you
Lucky you, oh, lucky me
Thick as thieves
[Outro]
Oh
Thick as thieves
Whoa, yeah
