This one is for the girl who says she's unlucky in love
You deserve to have the world at your feet
And if one person, one man could be enough
I wish it could be me
I wish it could be me

This one is for the boy whose daddy never had time for him
I Wish I could build you a little house for you to hide in
And give you back your summers
I'd give you back all your summers
You still have summers

Life is sweet life is sweet life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rolling along

This one is for the girl who says those voices in her head
Never leave her alone
Don't listen to your teacher, you're not crazy
Just smarter than the rest of them
Paint a picture, write a song
Tell your story, bang a gong

Life is sweet life is sweet life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rolling along
Rolling along

This one is for the boy who's not allowed to be part of the gang
You don't need those losers I think you're beautiful
And you meet a girl and you fall in love and it doesn't work out
Well it won't be the first time and they don't make a cure for that
So you eat your breakfast, read a book
Open up your window, be alone

Life is sweet life is sweet life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rolling along

 

You send me color
Pulled through the needle of you
Torn up I'm wearing it
What I wouldn't give

To change the weather around you
I'm never cold
I'll never cold

Lost as we spin
I'll sew you in
This perfect dress
Skin of our skin

Woven our hands
Silk is our breath
Wear it for you
This perfect dress

This perfect room
This little death
Birth without womb
What I wouldn't give

To tear riddle from riddle for you
But all I know
It's all I know

Lost as we spin
I'll sew you in
This perfect dress
Skin of our skin

Woven our hands
Silk is our breath
Wear it for you
This perfect dress

Lost as we spin
I'll sew you in
This perfect dress
Skin of our skin

Woven our hands
Silk is our breath
Wear it for you
This perfect dress

 

The War on Drugs - Under the Pressure

Well the comedown here was easy
Like the arrival of a new day
But a dream like this gets wasted
Yeah, without you

Under the pressure 

Is where we are
Under the pressure, 

It's where we are

You're the only one
Like an illusion

When it all breaks down and we're runaways
Standing in the wake of our pain
And we stare straight into nothing
But we call it all the same
You were raised on a promise
Found that over time
Better come around to the new way
Or watch as it all breaks down here

Under the pressure

Well the break down here
Stole it all the way across
I wanna climb down the river
Stranded on
When you come here and I'm wasted
Lying on a field
Dancing in the rain
Hiding in the back
Loosening my grip
Wading in the water
Trying not to crack
Under the pressure
Yeah 

That's where we are babe
Under the pressure
Woo!
