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.
