We're racing through the dark
On a road along the shore
And the law says we should stop
So we break a couple moreWith the windows all down
We just throw the cans out
And now you're laughin' through the wind
Swearin' we won't do it againWe're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
But we're too young for ourselvesWe're racing through the dark
Down the beach by the pier
And you ran into the sea
Like a cop without fearYou're gonna ruin your shoes!
You're gonna ruin your shoes!
And you're wading through the bay
Like you do it everydayWe're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
But we're too young for ourselvesThe bay's so uncertain
It's too cold, but we swim
The rain could come at any moment
The gray sky's closing in
Girl, just kiss meI couldn't sleep for days
And I couldn't move
You couldn't come too soon
To break me from that room
And now I'll sleep for days
But in a different placeWe're off too much now
Pay off sells itself
We cough too much now
But we're too young for ourselves
