Lyrics

    I’m drunk
    And right now I’m so in love with you
    And I don’t want to think too much about what we should or shouldn’t do
    Lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
    While the Devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car
    Nothing quite like the feel of something new
    
    Maybe I’m all messed up
    Maybe I’m all messed up in you
    
    But this is the only time I really feel alive
    This is the only time I really feel alive
    
    I swear
    I just found everything I need
    The sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me
    Well I want to drink it up and swim in it until I drown
    My moral standing is lying down
    Nothing quite like the feel of something new
    
    Maybe I’m all messed up
    Maybe I’m all messed up in you
    
    But this is the only time I really feel alive
    This is the only time I really feel alive
    
    I can’t help thinking Christ never had it like this
