park on the eighth

waking up in your arms on the eighth

I know things just can't wait

I'm ready to dance up a storm

tryin' to fight off the social norm

 

we sing to each other tilly and the wall

knowing we'll catch each other when we fall

it's love I tell you, plain and simple

it's a give and take, a push and pull

 

tap dancing to girls at night

we live on without a single fight

life is too short to be upset

we take it seriously with this bet

 

fatally we love

and crudely we shove

out of hearts hate

we just gotta find a mate.

 

we party until dawn

and we sleep past the yawn

this aint ever gonna be over

not until I got me some clover.

 

just hum sweet tunes

and play some runes

we got tight harmonies

and know where to put our keys

 

life isn't just some game we play

love isn't something we put on display

this is simple and this is right

come on, just take me home tonight

 

the summer breeze cools our heat

our fingers snap to the rhythms we beat

our hearts are the percussion of our lives

we just as busy as bees in those hives

 

riding shotgun in your car is where I belong

it's a fact, I know I am not wrong.

this is where I need to be

forever, always, you with me.

 

the creek goes up to our knees

everything sways carefully with the trees

life is perfect in this moment

you are my angel who has been sent

 

things start to transpose

the water reaches our toes

this starts to fade

again, we have to wade.

 

my eyes open and I can't believe it

this night was a dream, s**t.

I don't want to move on

but I gotta have some brawn

 

this night, I dream of you

but I know it will never come true

as much as I hope, I know I have to wait

to lie in your arms, in the park, on the eighth.
