Cruel Summer

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fever dream high

in the quiet of the night

You know that I caught it

(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it

(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you

to be waiting below

Devils roll the dice,

angels roll their eyes

What doesn't kill me

makes me want you more

And it's new,

the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules, in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

Hang your head low

in the glow of the vending machine

I'm not dying

(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

You say that we'll just screw it up

in these trying times

We're not trying

(Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

So cut the headlights,

summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you

just to cut to the bone

Devils roll the dice,

angels roll their eyes

And if I bleed,

you'll be the last to know

Oh, it's new,

the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules, in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby coming

home from the bar (Oh)

Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets

just to keep you

And I snuck

in through the garden gate

Every night that summer

just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I screamed

for whatever it's worth

＂I love you,＂ ain't that the

worst thing you ever heard?

He looks up grinning like a devil

And it's new,

the shape of your body

It's blue, the feeling I've got

And it's ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

It's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules, in breakable heaven

But ooh, whoa oh

It's a cruel summer

With you

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby

coming home from the bar (Oh)

Said I'm fine, but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets

just to keep you

And I snuck

in through the garden gate

Every night that summer

just to seal my fate (Oh)

And I screamed for whatever

it's worth

＂I love you,＂

ain't that the worst thing

you ever heard?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
