Better shatter the door I've heard you slam it once or twice before I'm dull to the aching The petty drug taking The splitting and making up has become a bore So bring on earth quake Pedestrian heartbreak Just won't do (No, no it just won't do) You'd better beat me blue (You'd better beat me blue) Just short of heaven Or déjà vu (Déjà vu) Lonely when I'm back in your arms again Déjà vu (Déjà vu) Drown the menagerie We've both burned it down a time or three I'm numb to the high wire The swallowing of fire Dumb to the turbulence and ecstasy So dole out some trauma Civilian drama Just won't do (No, no it just won't do) Hit me with something new (Hit me with something new) Just short of heaven Or déjà vu (Déjà vu) Lonely when I'm back in your arms again Déjà vu (Déjà vu) Try to run away from myself and then Déjà vu (Déjà vu) Sorry for the way that I leave you blue Déjà vu (Déjà vu)

You were born to drive this car Bet you say that every time I'm a very honest salesman Don't cajole me with sincerity Just indulge In bad faith In your destiny Of course I've never seen a person take so well To sitting in the front of a Cadillac Well maybe I can test it in the back Let's turn it on You're really driving Oh my god I kind of like this car But I can sense of hesitation You need a proper demonstration Can I take to the mall? You can take it to the sun Got a place in Santa Monica We can drive it down the 101 We can drive You and I So you're coming too? Of course I've never seen a person take so well To grand theft auto Well, I can steal as good as I can sell Let's turn it on! You're really driving Oh my god, I think I love this car Let's turn it on You're really driving Oh my god I think I love this car When every red light's screaming "come on" (Baby you know) I'm gonna teach you the art of the autobahn (So baby let's go) I've never seen a Fleetwood take so well To love in the fast lane Yeah we're cruising in the arms of an angel Let's turn it on! We're really driving Oh my god I think I love this car Let's turn it on We're really driving Oh my god I think I love this car

You and I We're tigers of a stripe Passing drifter Yeah, you're just my type Je t'aime dancing on my tongue It's almost over and it's only begun Violent sorrow A modern ecstasy for old romantics You're gonna leave me low This time tomorrow Seven miles high above the North Atlantic This eight a.m. flight Ticket says no one's sleeping tonight As long as you love me time Just can't catch us, baby (Time can't catch us, baby) One step to achieve it Baby, just believe it Time can't catch us no way (Time can't catch us no way) Crack the whip Steady the wooden stool Step into a world of fang and claw Our love the only golden rule The only rule of law a round of applause Close the window The birds are singing to the dawn of a new day You check your phone and say I gotta go A blue Honda Civic is two minutes away I know It's wrong and it's right Hold me close in the pale morning light As long as you love me time Just can't catch us, baby (Time can't catch us, baby) Five blocks is a life away Darling it feels like time can't catch us, no way (Time can't catch us no way) As long as you love me time Just can't catch us, baby (Time can't catch us, baby) One step to achieve it Baby, just believe it Time can't catch us no way (Time can't catch us no way) As long as you love me time Just can't catch us, baby

Friend, I know you're a daily call away I never hesitate to speak my mind She's been living here eleven months now And I feel I've not been home for a long, long time How did we go from bliss to this What's gonna become of me What's it gonna take to set us free If we could rewrite the law Of attraction we could live sensibly If we could rewrite the law Friend, you know I would be a better man Never wanna be a jealous guy You know that I hate to play the hypocrite Chain and collar on the wandering I'd never hurt anybody else again I'd walk the line No one's gonna break my heart Nothing but compassion when we part If we could rewrite the law Of attraction we could both walk the line If we could rewrite the law There'd be no more losing all you have No more vying for control No more darkness all the way to the bottom When you open the door to the soul You and I could sew the seeds of peace Hell and heaven realign Join complete divinity If the heart could reason with the mind If we could rewrite the law Of attraction we could live sensibly If we could rewrite the law Of attraction, baby If we could rewrite the law Of attraction, yeah If we could rewrite the law
