A cherry pit, four years old, the high chair
And fingers in the socket, just before they're removed
Just in time
12 years old, lively, scraped, the river, the Cévennes
Jumping from the big rock and getting out unscathed
Just in time

Promise me my love, to skip your turn
Promise me my child, to stay alive

High school nights, acting older than your age
Pants down, do it or you're out
Quickly
Stop eating and weigh your misery
We were going to jump but we close the window
Just in time

Promise me my love, to skip your turn
Promise me my child, to stay alive
I think about it all the time
I think about it all the time

Mojito, crushed ice, the fast car
Do nothing by halves and celebrate your 18th
Just in time
It's night, it's summer, in the petrol blue sky
The silver plane trees, sometimes we're lucky
In drunkenness

Promise me my love, to skip your turn
Promise me my child, to stay alive
Promise me my love, to skip your turn
Promise me my child, to stay alive
To stay alive
I think about it all the time
I think about it all the time
I think about it all the time
