Lyrics

Protection

[Verse 1]

Do you remember when we were

Going out for lifeguards

And snuck into the caves where

All the kids were smoking

And jeans were in our uniform

But not unless the calves were thin

And I will take a Polaroid

You will show me how to drink

Summertime, the hottest day

You remember, don't you baby?

Paranoid, no subscription

You believed

I let you die

[Chorus]

When you close your eyes

I don't need protection

See those clouds arise

Wasn't my intention

[Post-Chorus]

Lately I'm fucked up

But I don't regret it

Feels like memory lane

Couldn't wear the crown

[Verse 2]

Darkness falls away

Then it's only golden

Where are we today?

Somewhere near our future

So it can be saved

At least it can be reckoned

Each time we come through

Darling, you will listen
