Opposite View Lyrics

We could be away from here 
by ten o'clock tonight 
Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know 
but a borrowed car just might 
Look through my wallet 
There's enough for a hotel room 
But no, no, no, you say 
"I wanna stay in and get wet with you." 

Why do you take the opposite view? 

We could be different people tonight 
Who do you want to choose? 
I'll book a table in a suit and tie 
and you can wear your sister's shoes 
Look through my wallet 
Which cities shall we travel through? 
But no, no, no you say "You just got paid, 
Money's not for wasting it's for holding onto." 

Why do you take the opposite view? 

Is it something in your nature 
that makes it hard to say, "Baby, I do." 
You don't have to agree 
when someone says they love you 
But you don't have to take 
the opposite view 

We can walk on the roofs tonight 
and watch the midnight traffic flow 
Unscrew the lightbulbs babe, 
and we'll throw them from the 14th floor 
I say we're yellow 
if we don't do something new 
But you just laugh and start filling up my glass 
as if it's not true. 

Why do you take the opposite view? 

Every precious second there's a chance to change 
The present tense is perfect baby, 
Let's rearrange it.
