Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They build a ship each wintertime
For launch to sea before the storm
They don't just go from A to B
They go around and come around again
[Verse 2]
'Cause out there's always a construction site
A Starbucks and yet another Gugenheim
[Verse 3]
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
And it's granted
[Verse 4]
No more tassels on the hotel key
A phone line, a laptop, and a box of tangerines
They turn houses into homes
Where earthquakes live with car alarms
Mature, mild-mannered catastrophes
[Verse 5]
They gift each other a thousand names
And take them off, take them off again
Like excessive jewelry
[Verse 6]
So Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
And it's granted
[Verse 7]
They defend each other against the past
If the future isn't bright, at least it's colorful
So burn the ship come spring
They fail, fail, and try again
Fall off a cliff, succeed, and fall, fall again
[Verse 8]
They have proven quite effectively
That bumblebees indeed can fly
Against the field's authority
They invent each other ever anew
Still, they won't have a different view
Of everyone or anything
Defend themselves against the whims of fate
[Verse 9]
Question the statistics, accelerate
The status quo, deny the rules of gravity
But they don't use the word, once dropped, it might break
[Verse 10]
They don not say that they have loved
For who can say we were killed yesterday?
[Verse 11]
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
And it's granted
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
And it's granted
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
And it's granted
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
And it's granted
