lyrics

You made a To-Do List and called it
"To achieve before I grow up"
And the act itself is about three pages in

Between the lines of
"Teach myself how to love"
And "Second star, straight on 'til morning"

You've got a bad habit of losing yourself in other worlds
I've got a bad habit of losing myself in you
And this all started last Thursday afternoon
When we both ended at the bottom of nowhere new

I've never met someone as cautious
I'm sure you've never met someone as ridiculous


(CHORUS:)
But it doesn't make sense to be
Anybody but us
Too bad "Human"s the easiest to break
Settle down with me
And We'll compare our scars
Learn to put our feelings second place

Behind media love affairs
With "Who wore it better"s
Would you turn off the light for me
We can be losers in the dark


In desperately trying to be someone we've forgotten
What it means to love
You spend all Sunday evening wondering
Then started Monday morning saying
"Maybe you and I just aren't supposed to add up"

But it's our kryptonite, isn't it?
The textbook bullshit
Stories about boys chasing girls
But we can find our own way down the rabbit hole
And we'll be our own heroes
Just rewind the tapes and divide by zero

I've never met someone as selfless
You hoped to never meet someone as careless


(CHORUS:)
But it doesn't make sense to be
Anybody but us
Too bad "Human"s the easiest to break
Settle down with me
And We'll compare our scars
Learn to put our feelings second place

Behind media love affairs
With "Who wore it better"s
Would you turn off the light for me
We can be losers in the dark
