Nick: 
  Listen to the drummer, just listen to the strings
  Listen to the DJ just rappin' and things
  Once I get a message from you, I get all edgy
  My minds racing, but my you know not ready uh
SA: 
  For you, baby all our dreams trickle through
  We are back in your teenage bedroom
Nick & SA:
  Salvador Dali honeymoon for you
---> Play Riff 4 over:
Nick:
  It's like, you and me on Plymouth Rock
  Embarking on a journey that I never thought
  Would happen to me so effortlessly
  Sparks flying, your laughter is a symphony
Nick & SA:
  Spring, what a little moonlight can do
  Soon, the summer sun is on you
  All the while, we don't hear the news, or feel blue
---> Play Chorus (x1)
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick & SA:
  On the scales of desire, your absence weighs
  More than someone else's presence
  I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
  I wanna show its purple essence
  On your lips baby, it'll fade away
  Return your natural iridescence
  On the scales of desire, your absence weighs
  More than someone else's presence
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Nick:
  You make me feel uncalm and I think I like it
  Make me think of a song that I could not write yet
---> Play Riff 5 over:
Nick:
  Melodies create themselves, I'm just a conduit
  You make my heart accelerate and I'm on to it
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Nick & SA:
  For you, baby there's so much that I will do
  To be near the sweetness on you
  Funny everything seems so new
  When with you
---> Play Chorus over:
Nick & SA:
  On the scales of desire, your absence weighs
  More than someone else's presence
  I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
  I wanna show its purple essence
  On your lips baby, it'll fade away
  Return your natural iridescence
  On the scales of desire, your absence weighs
  More than someone else's presence
