He loved her dimples and her smile and her fingers and her hair
He knew what kind of socks she liked and he ordered her a pair
He climbed five miles up a mountain with a bottle of champagne
Her body took his breath but he loved her for her brain

And as they fell into the bed that night, he wanted to make her feel like a queen
But that's not what she wanted -- she wanted to be demeaned

'Cause She don't know that "sexy" is not sexuality
She don't know a kiss can jolt like electricity
She just knows about one-night stands and hookups in the bed
'Cause nothing's special anymore, and eroticism is dead

Before raunch and porn and Tinder, before twerking replaced dance
Lots of couples couldn't catch their breath just from holding hands
But now everything's a given and nothing is taboo
Psychosexually, they're dead, they're just bodies on the move

He spent his whole day lighting candles, and picking out the perfect rose
But when he told her she was gorgeous, she said she'd rather be called a hoe

'Cause She don't know that "sexy" is not sexuality
She don't know a kiss can jolt like electricity
She just knows about one-night stands and hookups in the bed
'Cause nothing's special anymore, and eroticism is dead

Wait -- is it?

We went to watch the fireworks, they filled up the whole sky
I felt them booming in my chest, brought a tear into my eye
Wet shoes, the dew, held hands with you
If only our friends knew

They "skipped the hassle" stayed at home in their laptops' glow
No blankets, baskets, traffic jams -- just Command + T and a built-in show
Alone, a yawn, but with a song
The night won't feel so long

The dew

If only our friends knew
If only our friends knew
In only our friends knew

There were stars exploding all around, piercing through the night
Fireflies were in the foreground, with lightning on the right
I could taste it, smell it, feel it as they blazed across the sky
But my favorite thing of all was the reflection in your eye


Surrounded by the revelers, we were the only two for miles
The way you brushed hair from my shoulder, the way you made me smile

The only two for miles

Alone, till dawn, held in your arms
If only our friends knew
If only our friends knew

There is something they've not felt before -- it doesn't have to be dead
