Let?s go out to the sticks,
I wanna pin a red rose on you. I wont break your skin,
I am a gentleman through and through.
I will waltz you around, through the winter wind.
What if you were for me
and I was for you again?

Let?s go out by the shed,
I wanna see our breath in the air,
I wanna see that motion censor light ignite your hair.
I will steal your gasps,

then give ?em back,
dirty my knees in the grass.
If it would make you laugh or crack a smile or sing or cry,
you know the good kind.
Covered bridges,
thumbed out hitches.

Run me over,
I am signaling.
Take good care,
my flare is dwindling.
Let?s sneak into the pool,
I?ll keep watch (stand guard) while you skinny dip.

Let?s climb up to the roof, we?ll pop a cork into the trees and drink.
Let?s go down to the bench and talk a lot.
I may have insufficient breath for the words I got inside my head,
if they run out then we can kiss instead.
Covered bridges,
swinging switches.
Reprimand me,

I am innocent.
Grab the fence your skin is glistening.
Oh, let?s go home for real, none of this seems to matter there.
Dead bolts,
night lights,
pocket knives,
I ain't ever been so terrified.
I'm gonna lose my girl,
into the city night.

I'm gonna lose my friends,
I'm gonna lose my life into the streams
and empty bits of me, yeah, into the sea.
Burning bridges,
severed stitches.
Sit and watch the embers twitching.
The buried boy too marred for missing.
