Parking lots and dirty thoughts and shoes I could take with me
Apartment doors and I ignore the ending of this story
You're from a small town, deep south on the Carolina border
I'm a rogue soul you could take home but I live just around the corner
Harmless fun and class A drugs and snare drums in my rib cage
Raise a toast, I overflow with speeches that I won't say
In the streetlights, I'm on fire
Do you feel the way I'm feeling?
Like gravity can't touch me
Fall through the floor but we hit the ceiling
Metal vest throwing off the scent, but I think you're just like me
Clumsy falling, way too honest
Packing bags before the words can freeze
Out of the suburbs, out to the coast
I know I'll be better, I know I'll be wrong
But I'll run 'til I hit the ocean, 'til all my inhibitions fold in
And if an earthquake can hit Southern California
I wouldn't say you were right but I would call you, I know
Yeah I would call you, just know
Out on a limb and in on a secret
Hand on my waist, don't say that I'm freezing
'Cause we, we just wanna be loved
Aftershock and should we talk
Are you even awake yet?
The apple fell, see you in hell
Swear you could taste the temptation
It was a long time coming and a short walk home
And I said nothing when you picked up the phone
But if you give me something I'll rob you blind
Make you forget every feeling you knew before mine
In a backseat, like we're eighteen
Like you don't know what it's like 'til you sink in your teeth
'Til my gums bleed, and you call peace
On a full out battalion, I'm down on my knees
You said you could wreck me, I think you should prove it
You can't threaten me I get off on delusion
So I keep my mouth shut and you let me do it
Knowing damn well, this goes south, no crime could be proven
In mid-July heat and some house party bedroom
Bass through the door I can feel up against you
Up for a breath I see stars and he says
"Do you have any idea how long I've wanted to do that?"
If an earthquake can hit Southern California
I wouldn't say you were right but I would call you, I know
Can I call you on my way home?
I read the signs and you read my mind
We're keeping secrets and wasting our time
'cause we, we just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
We just wanna be loved
