Lyrics A Common Year

A Common Year

Used To This

We were caught

Dancing in the streets

While the rain put out the fires we set

The night before

And before we gave into

All the things we had avoided

I watched my inhibitions walk away

I could get used to this

Acting without thinking

Knowing that it's wrong to do

But do it anyway

I could get used to this

Diving but not sinking

Splashing into something new with you

"They'll never know," you said, "How we feel"

And I said "Honey they would never understand"

But I do believe that is what I prefer

We can only stay this high

If we let no one drag us down

So if you'd like to stay with me you should

I could get used to this

Acting without thinking

Knowing that it's wrong to do

But do it anyway

I could get used to this

Diving but not sinking

Splashing into something new with you

I'll meet you at your window

And we'll forget our age

And dive into each other

And hold our breath forever

I could get used to this

Acting without thinking

Knowing that it's wrong to do

But do it anyway

I could get used to this

Diving but not sinking

Splashing into something new with you
