Roll out the compliments and sharpen your claws
I know you wanted to learn but all we've done is talk about that senior prom
I don't wanna go, to your senior prom; I don't want your senior problems
Yeah I need a girl like you need a boy, east of the sun or anytime at all
And as you slow down your eyes familiarize the shadows
Turning them into me, throw in a word or two of your own
You know we all do eventually
Birds do it, bees do it too. Let's do it, let's fall in love
Birds do it, bees do it too. Let's do it, let's fall in love
I wasn't taught all the bullshit, I just know what I love and I know you
I know counterpoint, I know binary and I know you
I know airplay, I know Doctor who and I know you
But darling our consciousness is a bi-product of necessity, but I don't believe it must be
Your mom did it, your grandma did it too, and her mom did it, and you're next
So don't call me unromantic just because I'm not satisfied being told who to love
Your mom did it, your grandma did it too, and her mom did it and now it's you
