I don’t know if I can take this
im just a little scared
taking off your clothes
in the backseat unprepared

Death By A Man, Hat And Love:
all heart
but no hands
just smiles
no romance
I’m beginning to see
your hair on my face
and my hands at your waist
and maybe ill give in
don’t smile but don’t cry
don’t go don’t ask why
be free to run wild
dream big like a child
and head west
to california
don’t say
i didn’t warn you
chase the girl and then let her go
this is the only way we know
why we never wanted to grow old
big boys they don’t cry
big girls never lie
but i”m beginning to see
a smile on your face
and he’s there in my place
and I’m not gunna lie
don’t smile but dont cry
don’t go dont ask why
be free to run wild
dream big like a child
and head west
to california
dont say
i didn’t warn you
chase the girl and then let her go
this is the only way we know
why we never wanted to grow old
your letting me down
your letting me down
your letting me down
your letting me down
don’t smile but dont cry
(don’t let me down)
don’t go dont ask why
be free to run wild
(cause we could lose everything)
dream big like a child
and head west
to california
dont say
i didn’t warn you
chase the girl and then let her go
I’m begging you now
don’t let me down
your letting me down
your letting me down
your letting me down
