Each couple you passed they??d smile and high five
Like you??ll know when love??s back on track

Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack

Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black
Dsus4 E
Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack

You??ll know when love??s on the rocks

You wearing headphones, him vest and socks
A E A
You??ll know when love??s on the slide

Whenever your talking, the kids go outside, (kids go outside)
D A E

When the look that you get is as hard as the bread
D A E A
You open your mouth but your stories are stale
