Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Me and you
She says, we're like an odd pair of shoes
One slightly stylish and one slightly plain
One for the night life and one for the rain
[Verse 2]
I never argue 'cause you'll never give in
No use in fighting 'cause I'll never win
There's no rules on this ship of fools
Only lifeboat survivors who know what to do
[Verse 3]
As I hold her tight
She tries to fight it
As she rolls her eyes
A slow submission
'Cause she knows I'm right
She dances
Dance in the broad daylight
[Verse 4]
'Cause I can't say no
No, I can't say no
I'm ten feet tall when she's by my side
But I can't say no
To her smile
[Verse 5]
Me and you
I think we found something old and new
Something borrowed
We're bulletproof
Yet we know when to bend
We're like Sonic Youth
Never gonna end
[Verse 6]
I never argue 'cause you'll never give in
No use in fighting 'cause I'll never win
There's no rules on this ship of fools
Only lifeboats, survivors who know what to do
[Verse 7]
As I hold her tight
She tries to fight it
As she rolls her eyes
A slow submission
'Cause she knows I'm right
She dances
Dance in the broad daylight
[Verse 8]
'Cause I can't say no
No, I can't say no
I'm ten feet tall when she's by my side
But I can't say no
To her smile
[Verse 9]
I can't say no
I can't say no
I can't say no
To her smile
[Verse 10]
Why would I want to not give you all that you need?
Love's unconditional without room for greed
So many ships before us have sunk and run aground
If you're afraid of heights, my friend, then don't look down
[Verse 11]
'Cause I can't say no
No, I can't say no
I'm ten feet tall when she's by my side
But I can't say no
To her smile
