Our Most Brilliant Friends Lyrics

Sun is coming up slowly
I didnt read it in your star-sign or mine
God knows were not holy
In decisions we make
And how we spend our timeBut I got faster and faster
And you got harder to please
And you got harder to find
And our prayers were answered
When we wrote these songs
And we lost our minds
And all our most brilliant friends
Are doubting themselvesAnd were scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate

New versions of ourselves
We wont need helpSomethings making me nervous
Running through my body
Cant remember why
We thought we had all the answers
We got the stomach to learn
But havent got the timeYour body looks good tonight
I wonder if youd care
If I was still in your shirt
The way we were when we first met
Before your mind filled with air and mine with dirt
And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselvesAnd were scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We wont need helpHey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him goHey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go!You know that its gonna take time dont ya?
You know that you never were right
But the fact is youre good
Yeah, we know that youre nice
But we dont get a world and we dont get a life
Where all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselvesAnd were scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again, start it all again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We wont need helpHey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him goHey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go!* Part Two *If dreams come true
Then you and I would make a two
And if I had one more
Id dream that I stayed on your floor
And while my parents were alive
Theyd say Rebecca nows the time
To play the next card to your chestYou thought about me and you said go
I thought about that and I said no
You couldnt understand why a girl like me
Thinks the way I do
But I cant stand a boy
Who thinks things through like youLets go back to the beginning
Of the nights that Ive been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning
Of the nights Ive been regrettingNow with you I always thought
Wed live behind a front door
Right now you dont think that
You can live anymore
And Ill call and call and call and call
And call and call and call
Anyone on the phone
So tonight Im not aloneLets go back to the beginning
Of the nights that Ive been regretting
Lets go back to the beginning
Of the nights that Ive been regrettingAnd you say baby you lied in your song
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drumI met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved God and got me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the end
But Im a quitter, I dont think he knew
That Im still thinking about you
Im a quitter and Im ashamed
He said hed come back for my brainAnd you say baby you lied in your songs
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drumI just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura, Jane, and Suzie
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But Im just a northern girl from where nothing really happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
Its from all the crunking Ive been doing
