It's Say Anything's Fault

Youre like an unlikely temptation
That i love to have around
All i need is a healthy dose of meditation
Where i just sit and stare at the ground

But youre the only thing i want to do
They could never see us through these walls
Or hear us as we loudly screw
While they walk down the long dark halls

But even if they could wouldnt stop us
Even if our neighbor threw us under the bus
Even if the landlord makes a fuss
There wouldnt be anything to discuss

For they could go ahead and say anything*
They could spout of with their various lies
Because you could always hide under my wing
All you have to do is stare into these eyes

And we'd walk out of that place with heads held high
Our steps taken like stolen from some ballet
As the old grocery lady bugs us with her disgusted cry
Just know that this was the highlight of my day
