[Verse 1]
Nations call
Par-parallels
Neighbors call
All in all in all in all in all
[Chorus 1]
That's worth saving up for
Put our heads down on the chest
Mustn't even race for rest
Easy come, easy go
[Chorus 2]
Easy come
Easy go
Easy come
Easy go
[Verse 2]
Stares conceal
Par-parallels
Neigh-neighbors call
All in all in all in all in all
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
Chance is yours
And call the shot
Even in a parking lot
With one romance
One romance
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 4]
Neighbors call
Par-parallel
Late at night nations fall
All in all in all in all in all
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
Nations call
Par-parallels
Neighbors call
All in all in all in all in all
[Chorus 1]
That's worth saving up for
Put our heads down on the chest
Mustn't even race for rest
Easy come, easy go
[Chorus 2]
Easy come
Easy go
Easy come
Easy go
[Verse 2]
Stares conceal
Par-parallels
Neigh-neighbors call
All in all in all in all in all
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
Chance is yours
And call the shot
Even in a parking lot
With one romance
One romance
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 4]
Neighbors call
Par-parallel
Late at night nations fall
All in all in all in all in all
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
