lyrics

On the balcony, eating ice cream
Passed out, too cold, too fast for my little brain
Let's go to Billy's house, see if he'll come out,
Or if not, invite us in to play some video games

This city where we met as kids, used to clench our fists
so the cold wouldn't get us
Fog and mist both smell like fish, so we'd squint and try
not to lick our lips
If only we could fly, head south for the winter time
Where the dream won't die, of a better life

Maybe we should quit smoking, find a healthy substitution
so we don't go insane
Back on again. It's not working. These herbal cigarettes just
don't feel or taste the same

This city where we met as kids, used to clench our fists
so the cold wouldn't get us
Fog and mist both smell like fish, so we'd squint and try
not to lick our lips
If only we could fly, head south for the winter time
Where the dream won't die, of a better life

That's the smoke alarm. Burnt sugar
Evacuate and wait. Just trying to make some breakaway glass
With the burner on, away for too long
They forgave us. Guess you have a way of saving our backs

This city where we met as kids, used to clench our fists
so the cold wouldn't get us
Fog and mist both smell like fish, so we'd squint and try
not to lick our lips
If only we could fly, head south for the winter time
Where the dream won't die, of a better life
