Sitting on the cigarette butt front porch
I could ask you "are you dead like me?"
Call me what you will, but call me again
It's true I don't talk too much
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Pretty face could you make the jump with me?
I'm dying just to let things go
Do you remember the lightening storm?
It was the first time that I really felt you
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
I could ask you "are you dead like me?"
Call me what you will, but call me again
It's true I don't talk too much
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Pretty face could you make the jump with me?
I'm dying just to let things go
Do you remember the lightening storm?
It was the first time that I really felt you
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads

Why focus on an ephemeral love based in reality when the experience, memory, and fantastic elation can last forever in eternal dreams or death, since living in dreams is separate from the physical, reality of life. "I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die"
The end of this relationship is in sight "our lips won't last forever"
I'm not so sure what to make of the "we've got eyes on the back of our heads" lines.. maybe they're alluding to the 360 vision, or comprehensive outlook on love and life?
I interpret "I could ask you 'are you dead like me?'" part as the protagonist declaring that he is already living in an everlasting fantasy, the infatuation of their lips 'lasting forever', ultimately removed from reality and therefore dead.
;but a happy dead. So happy that escaping to the idea of 'their lips lasting forever' is preferable to living.
also love the high highs cover. it's very dreamy, like a never-ending, serenity.
What I get from the "we've got eyes on the back of our heads" lines is that instead of looking forward to whatever comes next for them, they are still looking back in hindsight at all they've been through.
