    Song: Soco Amaretto Lime

    Everyone has stressful days at work, or maybe this bad weather's been getting to you. Regardless, some chill music for a late afternoon break may be just what you need. If not, you can still take full advantage of these lyrics. Because once the weather clears up, we know we'll be staying "awake through summer like we own the heat." You better believe it.

    Lyrics:

    Passed out on the overpass
    Sunday best and broken glass
    Broken down from the bikes and bars
    Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
    You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
    And tonight will go on forever while we
    walk around this town like we own the streets
    and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
    Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
    (everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
    And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
    on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

    I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
    So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
    And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
    cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
    And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
    to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
    cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
    we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

    The hell out of this town
    Find some conversation
    The low fuel lights been on for days
    It doesn't mean anything
    I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
    before we shut this engine down,
    we shut it down

    I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
    So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
    And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
    cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
    And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
    to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
    cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
    we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

    (you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
    Eighteen forever (first kisses)
    (your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
    So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)
    (you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
    And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)
    (and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
    cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)
    (you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
    And we'll never have to listen (November to...)
    (your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
    to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)
    (you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
    and it's all been said (nightswimmers)
    (and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
    we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

    Just jealous cause we're young and in love
    You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
    You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
