Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two people touching lips, hands on each other's hips
Nothing else in the world but one another
The 42nd floor on a distant shore
I wonder how we strayed so far from this
Remember when we were just flesh and bone, you sir?
May have forgotten how good your world could be, so
Put down your hollow tips and kiss your lover's lips
And know that fate is what you make of it
[Verse 2]
Please end this, please end this
Before this ends us
Ends us, ends
[Verse 3]
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good, for good, for good, for good
For good, for good, for good, for good
[Verse 4]
I read the news today, and everything they say
Just makes me wanna stay inside and wait
But a part of me knows that waiting in the throes
Is on a par with reading with my eyes closed
What can I do? You say it's just another day
In the life of apes with ego trips
Put down your hollow tips and kiss your lover's lips
And know that fate is what you make of it
[Verse 5]
Pleas end this, please end this
Before this ends us
Ends us, ends us
[Verse 6]
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside for good
For good
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna stay inside
I'm gonna stay inside for good
I'm gonna stay inside for good
For good
[Verse 8]
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
Don't wanna stay inside for good
I don't wanna stay inside
For good, for good, for good, for good
For good, for good, fuck off for good
For good, for good, for good, for good
