Our Bubbles Bursting

Well, we should never have started the sequel Never mind the prequel, girl We were doomed from the starting gun Although it seemed like fun When we were spun on a warehouse run Stickers and glowsticks, we were out of our minds Our love was like a new branch finding the light I wrote "the drugs won't be our balloon," and sighed 'Cause truer words were never lied And darling, can I confide That there are times when I wish we were still that high? Oh, but we came down like balloons must do You were clutching me and I was clutching you So in the minute or two left to us before impact I don't want to talk, just brace for the crash And so I'll turn up my headphones I suggest you do the same It's not the best song around It's just something I found That might drown out the sound of our bubbles bursting Soon we were living on our own in a winter town Just a minute or two before we hit the ground Before we got tripped up in the creeper vines And I got snagged on girls And you got caught on guys And I stayed out all night To take a long walk or maybe talk to someone else In a low-necked shelf Feet up on the bleachers With the raddest sneakers And you'd be stuck at home trying to balance the book Buying lingerie and learning to cook You got frayed and let the summer boys splay you I did everything I could to delay you Except for say to you "Wait, don't go, I would've changed all year for you" And a bigger lie was never true So in the minute or two before we crash and burn Can we put on a movie, I think it's your turn And so I'd crank up the volume And the neighbors would complain Saying we've seen it before And we can take one more It's just the four on the floor of our bubbles bursting I had a dream last night that broke my heart again That we were back like we once had been Back at the turn of the new century Under my covers, we were high on E And our eyes were so wild and freaked out bright Cause our love was like a new branch finding the light But hey, now it's alright We both came out something like alive You've got one foot in a wedding ring And one foot in graphic design And I've got a foot that couldn't draw a straight line Not to save my life And so a week or two after we broke our backs While stumbling home I heard every track By every band We'd ever loved And for once, instead of ask what I could have done I just turned up my headphones And I trust you'll do the same For a last ditch song that goes on a bit long But still pops like the bomb of our bubbles bursting Don't talk Don't stop Our bubbles bursting now
