"Cruel Summer" lyrics
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad girl, shiny toy with a price
She know that I bought it
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
"It's cool" that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
Yeah, yeah
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know, oh and
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
"It's cool," that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cry like a baby coming home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer, just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I screamed, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
She looks up, grinnin' like a devil
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
"It's cool," that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cry like a baby coming home from the bar
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer, just to seal my fate
And I screamed, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You know that I caught it
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad girl, shiny toy with a price
She know that I bought it
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer
"It's cool" that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
Yeah, yeah
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying
(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know, oh and
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer

No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh

No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cry like a baby coming home from the bar
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer, just to seal my fate
And I screamed, "For whatever it's worth

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
