Cruel Summer

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night

You know that I caught it

Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it

Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa-oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa-oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine

I'm not dying

Say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times

We're not trying

So cut the headlights, summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa-oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa-oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I'm crying like a baby coming home from the bar

Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

She looks up, grinning like a devil

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa-oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa-oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

With you
