Lyrics:
Every night,
I live and die
Feel the party to my bones
Watch the wasters blow the speakers,
Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light
It’s just another graceless night
I hate the headlines and the weather,
I’m nineteen and I’m on fire
But when we’re dancing I'm alright
It’s just another graceless night

Are you lost enough?
Have another drink, get lost in us
This is how we get notorious
Cause I don’t know,
If they keep telling me where to go
I’ll blow my brains out to the radio

All of the things we’re taking
'cause we are young and we’re ashamed
Send us to perfect places
All of our heroes fading
Now I can’t stand to be alone
Let's go to perfect places

Every night, I live and die
Meet somebody, take 'em home
Let’s kiss and then take off our clothes
It’s just another graceless night

All the nights spent off our faces
Tryna find these perfect places
What the fuck are perfect places anyway?
