lyrics

Do you wanna come over?
We can build up a fire
I would point out every star just to prove I’m a liar
We’ve got some issues; we can work them out together
I would drive with the windows down now thanks to the weather

Do you hate my guts?
‘Cause I love your air
And would you love me more if we breathed the same?

Do you wanna come closer?
‘Cause I’ve been drinking forever
You said you’re as drunk as me and you’ve been drinkin’ my liquor
No need to back up, ‘cause I got plenty of room here
And if you make that shot, I swear to God, I’ll walk away

But it’s too late for me right now
‘Cause your number’s in my phone
And if you’re drivin’, girl, I could walk you to your car
But if not, then I could walk you home

And it’s already October
I can’t believe that it’s over
And I guess that’s why you kissed me, ‘cause you were missin’ the summer
The freckles faded off your cheeks
But when you smile, it still kills me
And you had a chance to pick me up, but you threw me down

I guess I never realized how much you hate my guts
‘Cause I love your air
And would you love me more if we breathed the same?
And do you hate my guts?
‘Cause I love your air
And would you love me more if we breathed the same?
