lyrics

The world breaks everyone
That's what Hemingway taught me when I was young,
I never thought,
it'd mean that much to you, the things we learned in school
They stuck with kids like me & you,
In all the times that we've been through,
It's like there's nothing we can't do
And I will keep on taking all my chances

We're just two dumb kids who
Like reading American Fiction
And hearing songs that make us feel invincible
No we don't need much but good conversation
That constantly keeps us awake
Just as long as we're both here and listening
Are you listening?

If we are what we pretend to be, as Vonnegut suggests,
I guess I'm just as cool as I am in my head
I'll stay as close to the edge as I can
Will you keep me from going over it if you can?
Cause I'm over getting older,
The summer is short, and the winters get colder
And I wouldn't mind spending my whole life on a couch next to you

We're just two dumb kids who
Like reading American Fiction
And hearing songs that make us feel invincible
No we don't need much but good conversation
That constantly keeps us awake
Just as long as we're both here and listening
Are you listening?

Are you listening? Are you listening?
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Are you listening?

We're just two dumb kids who
Like reading American Fiction
And hearing songs that make us feel invincible
No we don't need much but good conversation
That constantly keeps us awake
Just as long as we're both here and listening

Are you listening? Are you listening?
Are you listening? Are you listening?
