shut us down

the coffee here ain't worth a damn
and i'm so ready for winter.
the summer sun's all well and good
but a fire is so much better
send me somewhere north
somewhere i can see my breath
where the only possible way to stay alive
is by dancing the night away

so come
come with me
yeah come
come with me

come with me to that stony bridge
that's just outside of town
or scream all night long
from the roof tops
til they try to shut us down
no they'll never shut us down

and when the stars at night fall from the sky
we'll catch them in jars
and save their light to light up the dark
it couldn't be that hard
when they start to fade out
we'll just head to the waterfront
where we won't even have to think about staying alive
cause we'll be dancin' the night away

so sing
sing with me
yeah sing
sing with me

sing with me 'til your voice breaks
and it's just the two of us
or laugh until we cry
as we run away
when they try to shut us down
no they'll never shut us down
