  • Every night, I live and die
    Feel the party to my bones
    Watch the wasters blow the speakers
    Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light
    It's just another graceless night
    I hate the headlines and the weather
    I'm nineteen and I'm on fire
    But when we're dancing, I'm alright
    It's just another graceless night

    Are you lost enough?
    Have another drink, get lost in us
    This is how we get notorious, oh
    'Cause I don't know
    If they keep tellin' me where to go
    I'll blow my brains out to the radio, oh-oh-oh-oh

    All of the things we're taking
    'Cause we are young and we're ashamed
    Send us to perfect places
    All of our heroes fading
    Now I can't stand to be alone
    Let's go to perfect places

    Every night, I live and die
    Meet somebody, take 'em home
    Let's kiss and then take off our clothes
    It's just another graceless night, 'cause

    All of the things we're taking
    'Cause we are young and we're ashamed
    Send us to perfect places
    All of our heroes fading
    Now I can't stand to be alone
    Let's go to perfect places

    All of the nights spent off our faces
    Trying to find these perfect places
    What the fuck are perfect places anyway?
    All of the nights spent off our faces
    Trying to find these perfect places
    What the fuck are perfect places anyway?

    All the nights spent off our faces
    Trying to find these perfect places
    What the fuck are perfect places anyway? Writer/s: Ella Marija Lani Yelich O'connor, Jack Antonoff
