No one wants to live forever

Without love

On the west coast slide

Skipping class like it's over

And the skirt begs why

Little birds on your shoulder

But the ink ain't dry

23is a number that brings me back

Young enough to remember a prom night flask

Substitute the curves of your body

For the stories and pain that divide me

Substitute your name on the blank sheet

For moment where principals are fought

Why you wanna run forever

Shattered love

In your hands tonight

No one wants to live forever

Without love

On the west coast slide

Teachers know that lessons are sealed in blood

Tenured love is a prison

Just to tie us up

When the chance is a d**g that makes us whole

Hit the breaks and let our hands grown

Why you wanna run forever

Shattered love

In your hands tonight

No one wants to live forever

Without love

On the west coast slide

Why you wanna run forever

Your school charm is keeping me from leaving

I'll lose your number in the back of a lincoln

Why you wanna run

On the west coast slide
