Lyrics & Translation

[English]

with Dylan ICS in a cute little place

that needs a ton of work we may not have

all the nicest things but there's music

and laughing and I know I can always be

myself and he'll always love me for it

I just got out of a relationship I'm

like a complete mess that's perfect

I love misses can we uh take a step back

and just go out on a date sure your

chariot awaits I couldn't fit in my car

[Music]

Oh

we're never gonna be able to retire are

we nope

[Music]
