Lyrics

Batten down the hatch

Cause we're all coming in

Like uninvited guests

Romancing everything

Keep your ahnds away

From what you can't afford

We don't think that we'll stay

Now that you look bored

God only knows

What Brian Wilson meant

Pick out your clothes

With some real intent

You don't seem to care

That I've been waiting here

Pulling out my hair

For you to come

My dear

I'll go all the way

As long as you go first

Running all this way

Has given me a thirst

Believe in what you want

As long as you can see

What's right in front of you

I guess that that's just me
