I want the chip off the old block
I want a girl who I can talk to
Stumblin' through your neighborhood
Defacing walls just like I should

Ooh, I wanted to be you
Dirty like the skies
You live in space
Your life's a waste like mine
So let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
Ooh but what if right before the end we quit
Now, why don't we just stop before we die?

We saw our names in the lights
Chasing dragons through echo park
Raising hell on a quiet afternoon
Sandbox heroes, we lonely fools

Ooh I wanted to be you
Take that and put your lips like mine
'Cause here in space we're wastin' all our time
So let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
Ooh, but what if right before the end we quit now
Die or tell the truth
And don't you lie and tell the truth
Before we die
Always needed love
All I needed was love, was love
And I always needed you
All I needed was you, was you
Was you, it's you
It's you

Ooh, I wanted to be you
Dirty like the skies
You live in space
Your life's a waste like mine
So let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
Ooh, but what if right before the end we quit
Let's try
And what if they're right and it's darkest before the light
Come on tell me your truth 'cause you see I told you mine
Or let's just stop before we die
Before we die
Before we die
Before we die
Before we die
