We're racing through the dark   On a road along the shore   And the law says we should stop   So we break a couple more      With the windows all down   We just throw the cans out   And now you're laughin' through the wind   Swearin' we won't do it again      We're off too much now   Pay off sells itself   We cough too much now   But we're too young for ourselves      We're racing through the dark   Down the beach by the pier   And you ran into the sea   Like a cop without fear      You're gonna ruin your shoes!   You're gonna ruin your shoes!   And you're wading through the bay   Like you do it everyday      We're off too much now   Pay off sells itself   We cough too much now   But we're too young for ourselves      The bay's so uncertain   It's too cold, but we swim   The rain could come at any moment   The gray sky's closing in   Girl, just kiss me      I couldn't sleep for days   And I couldn't move   You couldn't come too soon   To break me from that room   And now I'll sleep for days   But in a different place      We're off too much now   Pay off sells itself   We cough too much now   But we're too young for ourselves
