I heard the news and it's not good
I've read the weather report
Said it's pouring forever
But I looked outside and I saw you
Sticking your tongue out
And drinking from those clouds above you

Fluctuat nec mergitur
Fluctuat nec

Everything's gone so wrong
They say, the air makes you sick
Don't stay out there for too long
But then, there you are outside
You don't seem to mind
How the pesticides sit in your lungs
Then you turned to me and you smiled
And motioned for me to come play for a while
But I hid away as I dreamt of a day
That I'd join you

Fluctuat nec mergitur
Fluctuat nec

I heard the news and it's not good
They say the monsters are loose
And the city's on fire
But seeing you dance in the smoke
Waving your arms like a beautiful idiot
Makes me believe in the hopes of a day
I'd join you

And while I shook at the door
You ran towards the ocean to go for a swim
And I saw the look in your eyes
As the tide came to take you
You loved it
You loved it
You loved
