## Lyrics

* Demo
* Final

**[Verse 1: Andrew Taggart]**

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you

I drink too much

And that's an issue, but I'm okay

Hey, you tell your friends

It was nice to meet them

But I hope I never see them again

**[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]**

I know it breaks your heart

Moved to the city in a broke-down car

And four years, no calls

Now you're lookin' pretty in a hotel bar

And I-I-I can't stop

No, I-I-I can't stop

**[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]**

So, baby, pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

**[Verse 2: Camila Cabello]**

Hey, you remind me of a sunset

Color my sky so I forget you won't stay

Um, no

Hey, play that blink-182 song

Let's forget these things we do wrong, okay (Yeah)

**[Pre-Chorus: Camila Cabello & Andrew Taggart]**

You know it broke my heart

Moved to the city in a broke-down car, and

Old, flamey young sky

Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar

And I, I-I can't stop

Oh, no, I, I-I can't stop (Yeah)

**[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Camila Cabello]**

So, baby, pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover (No, no)

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder (Hi-i)

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

No, we ain't ever getting older

**[Post-Chorus: Camila Cabello]**

Yeah

**[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Camila Cabello]**

So, baby, pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

**[Post-Chorus: Camila Cabello & Andrew Taggart]**

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older (Hey)

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older (Oh-oh-woah)

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

Woah-oh

No, we ain't ever getting older

Yeah

Yeah

**[Verse 1: Andrew Taggart]**

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you

I drink too much

And that's an issue, but I'm okay

Hey, you tell your friends

It was nice to meet them

But I hope I never see them again

**[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]**

I know it breaks your heart

Moved to the city in a broke-down car

And four years, no calls

Now you're lookin' pretty in a hotel bar

And I-I-I can't stop

No, I-I-I can't stop

**[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]**

So, baby, pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

**[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]**

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

**[Verse 2: Halsey]**

You look as good as the day I met you

I forget just why I left you, I was insane

Stay and play that blink-182 song

That we beat to death in Tucson, okay

**[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]**

I know it breaks your heart

Moved to the city in a broke-down car

And four years, no call

Now I'm lookin' pretty in a hotel bar

And I-I-I can't stop

No, I-I-I can't stop

**[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]**

So, baby, pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

**[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]**

We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

**[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]**

So, baby, pull me closer

In the backseat of your Rover

That I know you can't afford

Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner

Of the mattress that you stole

From your roommate back in Boulder

We ain't ever getting older

**[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]**

We ain't ever getting older (No, we ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older (No, we ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older (We ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older (No, we ain't ever getting older)

We ain't ever getting older

No, we ain't ever getting older
