[Verse 1]
When you go please don't leave your love in the sun
My heart would melt away
In the night with your twisted tongue
When you drop the bomb I'm blown away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause I refuse to hide in the page of the story
I come out the box I won't say I'm sorry

[Chorus]
We in the nuclear season
In the shelter I survived the storm
We in the nuclear season
Summer lovin' in the backseat gone

[Verse 2]
No facing this on my own
Cause you taste the blast and it shook your bones
I worry you're all alone
In the field of lies, I won't go home

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cause I didn't burn my skin in the blaze of glory
I come out your hands I won't say I'm sorry

[Chorus]
We in the nuclear season
In the shelter I survived the storm
We in the nuclear season
Summer lovin' in the backseat gone

[Post-Chorus]
We survived nuclear seasons
We survived nuclear seasons

[Bridge]
I can feel it, I can feel the fear
I can feel it, inside of her soul
Inside of the soul

[Chorus]
We in the nuclear season
In the shelter I survived the storm
We in the nuclear season
Summer lovin' in the backseat gone

[Outro]
We survived nuclear seasons
(Good times die slow)
We survived nuclear seasons
(Good times die slow)
We survived nuclear seasons
(Good times die slow)
We survived nuclear seasons
(Good times die slow)

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
