Windswept, Underslept And Supercharged

Lyrics
I'm a young man pleading in a foreign language To a tall yellow building's small silver intercom Someone answers back in either German or Spanish I say, "I'm sorry, I know the number, forgot what floor she lives on" I'm filled with nostalgia by your elevator I get déjà vu just from looking at you It's a rose-coloured montage from a 1983 Heartwarming but obvious romantic comedy And I am struck dumb Standing in the kitchen Got it all figured out But in a way that's still approachable The exact right amount Of tension and friction Bump around the room And the excitement is palpable Sunbaked all day in the backyard We spent all night just staring at each other Unkempt sitting in your friend's car Windswept, underslept and supercharged Got that loving feeling back Like a positive panic attack Your friends all know who I am But they seem to understand And I am struck dumb Standing in the kitchen Got it all figured out But in a way that's still approachable The exact right amount Of tension and friction Bump around the room And the excitement is palpable You make me laugh, you make laugh You really make me laugh Snorts and chuckles from my belly We smoke wet pot in the bath My head's shaking with the trouble that you and I could make If that's the step that we decide we will take tonight To live an extraordinary life or to die trying An ordinary life or to die trying An ordinary life or to die trying Die trying I wake up while you're asleep Whisper guitar on the balcony But the subtle synchronicities And the cheekiness of secrecy And I had been resigned to celibacy And I can't play this thing quietly I wanna wake up this whole apartment building I just wanna sing I am struck dumb Standing in the kitchen You've got it all figured out But in this way that's still approachable The perfect amount of tension The perfect amount of friction You're asleep in the next room The energy is palpable
