dancing under red skies.

We never had a chance
We never had a clue
Couldn't tell my [whatever you want here]
From what I was to you
I'm always counting backward
To 197-Eleven

It's always sunset in the parking lot
In 197-Eleven

There's something going down
While I'm just sweeping up
Trading baseball cards
For beer in coffee cups
I close my eyes and there we are
in 197-Eleven

Back behind the garbage bins
Moths are beating out their brains
Where I saw you kissing him
And now nothing else remains
Thank God I can't return
To 197-Eleven

I'm always counting backward
To 197-Eleven

I'm always counting backward
To 197-Eleven

197-Eleven

Don’t wanna leave you 
No I 
Don’t wanna leave you
No I 
Don’t wanna leave you
No I 

You know
We don’t mix at all
Talk to me before I fall 
Stop your love is tempting me

Its to heavy 
So overwhelming 
Dine in this blood with you
Is this what you wanted

Who can touch your body like this uh
Like this uh
Who can get me out of this funk uh
Like you uh

Yo girl, you’re so, bad for me I hope you know
And don’t, get mad at me, I’m moving slow
We link
I know
Just what you want

(Repeat) ;D

bad idea!
