lyrics

The night kicks off like a blank canvas, clean
Before it starts looking like a Jackson Pollock painting
If you don’t wear clothes then you’ve got no scene
And it’s harder to be found during hide and go seek

It’s a quiet neighborhood except for us
Skinny jeans and vans we don’t take the bus
24 hours aren’t enough in a day
With the sun coming up and the beach a bike ride away

I’m not saying we can change the Earth
But this summer we’ll turn southern Sweden into Perth
Everything else second friends are first
No matter how good she looks or how hard she tries

Black v-neck overdressed
Too much fabric too little chest
About to hit the stage and starting to sweat
Serve it again because the first was a let

I shower in the front yard with the garden hose
Klokken 3 no sleep nobody knows
24 clocks aren’t enough in a day
With the sun coming up and the beach a bike ride away

I’m not saying we can change the Earth
But this summer we’ll turn southern Sweden into Perth
Everything else second friends are first
No matter how good she looks or how hard she tries

Don’t tip off TMZ because I have my whole crew right here with me
Hightalkers on level ten
It’s the fastest three months there’s ever been

I’m not saying we can change the Earth
But next summer we’ll turn southern Sweden into Perth
Everything else seconds friends are first
No matter how good she looks or how that hard she tries

Don’t tip off TMZ because I have my whole crew right here with me
Hightalkers on level tio
Banging out all the best songs we know
