Wake up in the morning to another day with you, wondering what new trials we'll put each other through. Each new day's a ticket to another screaming match. When the bitterness runs dry, we just whip up another batch.
It's the same thing every day. I guess we like it this way. We wake up, we break up, and then we make up.
I often think back to the days when life with you was fun, when we'd hold each other's hands and kiss beneath a golden sun. When the whole damn world was only a setting for our necking sessions and periods of heavy petting.
But those days have long gone by. Now when I touch you, you just roll your eyes. I wanna make out, but you're gonna break out, and I'm just gonna order take out.
Sometimes I think we'd be better off if we just went out separate ways, but I know we're gonna be together until our dying days. Because it terrifies me to imagine a life without you in it, and I think I'm getting way too old to try to begin it.
Isn't it really strange how we're both too scared to make a change? You'll cry a lot when we tie the knot, because I'm the only guy you've got.

DeLorean

Seems like life's moving in circles, going round and round and round and round, but getting nowhere. But things were not always this way - I recall times that were so great! I wanna go there. If we had Doc Brown on our side, everything would be just fine. If we had a DeLorean, we could travel back in time.
With a DeLorean, I'd find things to adore again. I'd fall in love with a life that has since become a chore again. So fire up the Flux, because the present really sucks, and I know the world could offer so much more back then.
I'm trying to forget that my life has been one big regret, one big waste. All the mistakes I've made that left all these debts unpaid can be erased. So let's hit the road - come on, let's travel through the years! Please stop your crying - where we're going, we won't need tears.
With a DeLorean, we could see life before it went completely wrong. Just put the pedal to the floor, and then we'll hit 88 and the rest will be just great. We'll see our world before it got piss poor again.
Fuck this timeline we call life - I only want to go back to the past. And instruct my younger self on how to prevent life from kicking my ass. If I knew then what I know now, I could avoid making the same old mistakes. If I just end up making new ones, well that's a chance I'll just have to take.
With a DeLorean, you could visit your old friends, and maybe they could teach you to explore again. So c'mon, make like a tree and get outta here with me! I promise you that we'll never be bored again.

Elevator

I met her on the elevator. She looked at me and pushed Floor 9. It was strange - she wasn't familiar, although she lived only one floor above mine.
I don't know if this world is made for me and her. And it's such a shame that I have to get off one floor before.
I saw her again today in the lobby. Together again and the stage was set. I said "Have you been to the 8th floor?" She smiled at me and said, "Not yet..."
Now I know that this world is made for me and her. And we're riding up and down in the glow of the fluorescent light.

I Love You Today

I'll love you every day my whole life long. You think I'm kidding? Ha! I'll prove you wrong. I'll love you tomorrow no matter what you say, but most of all I love you today.
I saw you crying, I asked you why. You were worried about your future, you were worried about your life. Who cares about tomorrow, when tomorrow's so far away? And don't you know I love you today?
And if you think you know me, why don't you show me?
I know tomorrow, you'll come back to me anyway. But don't you know I love you today?

Let's blame the Magic Kingdom, where hopes and dreams come true. Let's blame it all on Disney World, where I lost you.
I lost my girl in Disney World. Oh what's a boy to do? I lost my girl in Disney World, and now I feel so blue. Was it the haunted house, or was it Mickey Mouse, or was it Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too? Was it those long lines that made you change your mind, or the waters of Typhoon Lagoon?
I lost my girl in Disney World, and now I sit and cry. I lost my girl in Disney World. Oh why did she have to say goodbye? Damn you TWA! You took my baby away, to the land of sand and palms. You've got your memories, but you don't remember me. And now I've got no date to the prom.
