Open arms
Grab the girl
And as you roll
Tuck and curl
I humanize
I start to thaw
You and I
Avoid the fall
Lose yourself
In tugs and pulls
this world tries
To spin us off
Back to school
No simple days
Just an endless fight
Against slow decay
And there's no news but flood
And these people they never move
Just dry their stuff and move back in
Like water never should
All that land to claim above
All that fear below
Hold tight to the girl next door
take her up the road
