lyrics:

lay with me if only for the hour
stay with me if only for the power
cause i’m 19 but i can feel it in my knees, i’m getting older
in your headlights i’ll freeze, but in these sheets 
i’m only getting colder

And the worst part of it all is that you

won’t let go
you say that we should
see the globe
and underneath the 
weight (of) us both,
I’m slowly drifting (x2)

when it comes to earthly pleasure
i just can’t compete
you know,
i’ve never been to Pasadena
i can’t take the heat 
stop running to confront my
gaze up from my feet
you know,
I’ve never been to Pasadena 
I can’t take the heat

lay with me if only for the minute
stay and try to fight the feeling in it
cause i’ll come clean that
i don’t want to leave my city for the ocean
it still seems like
its a pity that we have to be in motion

but you
won’t let go
insist on holding
me so close
but underneath the weight of us both
i’m slowly drifting

when it comes to earthly pleasure
i just can’t compete
you know,
i’ve never been to Pasadena
i can’t take the heat 
stop trying to torture me
with the things i’ve never seen
you know,
I’ve never been to Pasadena 
I can’t take the heat

and he says
are you with me or not
when you’re with me alone?
cause i want to come home to you
are you with me or not
when you’re with me alone?
cause i want to come home to you

Am I with you or not
when I’m with you alone?
cause i wanna go home, too soon.
Am I with you or not
when I’m with you alone?
cause i wanna go home, too soon.

when it comes to earthly pleasure
i just can’t compete
you know,
i’ve never been to Pasadena
i can’t take the heat 
stop trying to torture me
with the things i’ve never seen
you know,
I’ve never been to Pasadena 
I can’t take the heat
