We grow love in the dark, and in daylight it dies
But every day it's born again, and born again
We went for a walk and never came back
Our bodies they returned again and turned again

[Chorus]
I love you like a ticking clock
We go 'round and 'round and never stop
I love you like a small-town cop, yeah
I want to smash your face in with a rock
I love you like a ticking bomb
We're gonna get off when it all goes wrong
I love you like a spineless narc
I'd sell you out to get you in the dark

I'm your son and you're my daughter
We got married in the water
The water, the water, the water

Into the battle, now, here we go
And even in Arcadia: Ego! Ego! Ego!
Pure love is a drug best served cold
Because it heats you up when you need it most

[Chorus]
I love you like a ticking clock
We go 'round and 'round and never stop
I love you like a small-town cop, yeah
I want to smash your face in with a rock
I love you like a ticking bomb
We're gonna get off when it all goes wrong
I love you like a spineless narc
I'd sell you out to get you in the dark
Can you feel my heart beating into your future?
We will not grow old, we will just grow newer

[Chorus]
I love you like a ticking clock
We go 'round and 'round and never stop
I love you like a small-town cop, yeah
I want to smash your face in with a rock
I love you like a ticking bomb
We're gonna get off when it all goes wrong
I love you like a spineless narc
I'd sell you out to get you in the dark
