Here's to Love (acoustic) (Shawn Harris, Miles Hurwitz, the Matches) The first had scars in her eyebrows just like yours Woke the neighbors with another I hope you heard One more on all fours, forehead to floor like yours once was and I hope you heard One with breath all menthol just like yours Tangled in taxis with another I hope you heard The sun's exposed my clothes scattered across more bedroom floors than just yours And I hope you heard And ah-ah-ah-ah-I-I I hope it gets back to you back to back to you oh-oh-oh back at you Ah-ha-ha I hope it gets back to you it gets you, it gets to you My gun show hoodie is history it's just like yours Goodwill's got your mixtapes I hope you heard Kept the ticket stubs in the bottom drawer mine and yours I don't care And I hope you heard Love moves like a car crash Love soothes like a whiplash … toast to lost romance So hoist high that empty glass Here's to love Here's to love Here's to love Here's to luv
