[Verse 1]
Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but it's okay
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I-I-I can't stop
No, I-I-I can’t stop

[Chorus]
So baby pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

[Instrumental Break]

[Post-Chorus]
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

[Verse 2]
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and I'll play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I-I-I can't stop
No, I-I-I can't stop

[Chorus]
So baby pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can’t afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain’t ever getting older

[Post-Chorus]
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

[Chorus]
So baby pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can’t afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
(From your roommate back in Boulder)
We ain’t ever getting older
(Pull the sheets right off the corner)
We ain’t ever getting older

[Outro]
So baby pull me closer (closer)
