I don't wanna walk into this with my eyes closed But her smile has me feeling kinda wistful Like I lost too many years to care I love the way she dresses like the world is falling backwards And the only way to live is to be reckless Like she's compelling you to smile if you dare Money on the outside Hardy on the in When she kissed me I cried And she answered with a grin Middle of the dancefloor Smiling through the tears She's the one I adore Now she's the only thing I fear I found my self esteem round the back of my friend's house Drinking tinnies till the neighbours call the boys round Walking home as the sun appears Windows splitting up the party into boxes Made a front row for the scene of my first kiss Gave a bow as the night broke out into cheers Money on the outside Hardy on the in When she kissed me I cried And she answered with a grin Middle of the dancefloor Smiling through the tears She's the one I adore Now she's the only thing I fear Tripping over my words Never quite sure How to be the type of Person she'll endure I hope she treats me softly And when she lets me down I hope that she'll think fondly of the creature that she found Heart attacks from holding hands And waiting for her texts to land Playing pool as best I can With rolled up sleeves and farmer's tans The longest summer I ever had Thin white sheets and broken fans Seeing each night through the lens Of being drunk in love If I never had a happy life At least I can say that I tried To throw myself into the kinds Of situations that inspire The songs I sing at 25 That capture hope with all my might I gave them to the open sky And love without ever asking why Oh why Money on the outside Hardy on the in When she kissed me I cried And she answered with a grin Middle of the dancefloor Smiling through the tears She's the one I adore Now she's the only thing I fear Tripping over my words Never quite sure How to be the type of Person she'll endure I hope she treats me softly And when she lets me down I hope that she'll think fondly of the creature that she found
