Heat Island Effect Lyrics

In thunderstorms in Brooklyn I curse the clouds

I won't waste another summer if you choose to stick around

We'll protest the spa they want to build over the park

I know you hate the way they think they can take anything they want

I want you bad enough to kill me like water and oxygen

Baby tell me we're forever baby tell me anything

Say you don't want to live forever, sinking back into your skin

I remember us in July the heat was blistering

Oh what else to do but sit

And watch

The world

Go by

Nothing else to do but sit

So lost

My love

Don't cry

OH OH OH OH

I watch the mix of thrill and anger on your face

The urban heat island effect is really draining us these days

I always think about the death of the sun but not its birth

Sometimes the possibilities feel so endless to me it hurts

It hurts it hurts it hurts

Oh what else to do but sit

And watch

The world

Go by

Nothing else to do but sit

So lost

My love

Don't cry

OH OH OH OH

Sitting with you until the end of the world

But the end of the world ain't so bad with you here

I got my sunglasses on we're staring into the void

Created and destroyed it's so hot where's my beer

Can we sit

And watch

The world

Go by

There's nothing else to do but sit

So lost

My love

Don't cry

XOXO
