Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
Brand, new toy
Shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it
Feeling so slow, out the window
I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below
Buddies roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What makes me stronger makes me like you more
And it’s new, the game at the party
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
And it’s ooh, whoa
It’s a cruel summer
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
No rules, in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa
It’s a cruel summer
with you
Hang your head low
In the glow of the vending machine
I’m not crying
You say that we’ll just mess it up in these trying times
We’re not trying
So cut the headlights, summer’s all night
I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Buddies roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I’m freed, you’ll be the last to know
Oh, it’s new, the game at the party
It’s blue, the feeling I’ve got
And it’s ooh, whoa
It’s a cruel summer
It’s cool, that’s what I tell ’em
No rules, in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa
It’s a cruel summer
with you
I’m shrunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home with a star
Said, “I’m fine, ” but it wasn’t true
I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every time that summer just to seal my fate
And I screamed for whatever it’s worth
”I love you, ” ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up grinning like a friend will

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
