Take this back, back- back down now,
Slow the summer 'til we all fall.
Fall like the leaves on these pathetic city trees.
Because october's here, and our chance is near.
Don't let it slip, slip, slip away.
Just like the words that roll off our tongues
And join our clothes on the ground.
Our freedom's just been found and,
And even gravity can't stop us now, and so

Give my regards to the kids with backyards
'cause i'm livin' in the city tonight and
We are city lovin' the way we know how.
And so, call the cops-
I've got an emergency and
Tell the officer that, there's been a burglary.
She's stolen my heart, and she threw away the key.

You and i, we cause a big bang
And the stars won't ever be the same.
And we move so fast going in slow motion.
We can't fight this overcast night
'cause it pulls us back in every time.
And we can't stop now, we can't hold back,
The honesty between my sheets at night.
So hold me down and hold me back.

Call the cops-
I've got an emergency and
Tell the officer that, there's been a burglary.
She's stolen my heart, and she threw away the key.

But she means everything to me,
And i'm not waking from this dream, this dream.
(this is serious)
