Mat Kearney Lyrics
"Young Dumb & In Love"

Well it was me and Burkham running circles round the joint
Trying to jump on the circus
Trying to get across our point
Yeah
We were young and dumb
And looking for a fight
Burning both ends of the candle at both ends of the night

She was walking gracefully like she stepped out of a cocoon
Down through Manhattan Boulevard and First Avenue
With her black frame glasses and her daisy perfume
I said, "Have we met before"
She said, "No
It's only noon"
Oh
Oh

To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love

Baby you got me 10 feet off the ground
I'm talking too much and you don't make a sound
The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns
All I've waited for's come true
To be young and dumb and in love with you
You
You
You

With you
You
You
You

Well we sat in park grass
So scared of the past
Rolling round like blankets
Oh
This wont last
Dancing to five spot records with smoke in the air
You could smell it the morning
You could smell it in her hair

Found myself on my knees a little more each night
Is this what I've waited for for all of my life
Put your hand with a feather tattoo on your wrist
On this skinny little white boy's flat hustling hips

To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love

Baby you got me 10 feet off the ground
I'm talking too much and you don't make a sound
The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns
All I've waited for's come true
To be young and dumb and in love with you
You
You
You

She's not like any other girl
She's got me crying first
Dying first
Waiting for the repo man

Well under the weeping willows and a sea of fireflies
With your gypsy necklace and my big brown bow tie
You kissed my lips like I was catching a flight
I said, "If I'm honest I fell for you that first night"
If I'm honest I fell for you that first night
That first night
Oh
Oh

To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love with you
You
You
