Every time a slide goes by I'm hoping just to see your face With broken bottles at our feet And my arm around your waist Back when the neighborhood smelled like trash We always thought it'd be that way Nobody's love was meant to last Remember what you used to say Don't let the paint drip Let's not mess this up together Don't let the paint drip Don't let the paint mix Let's not mess this up together Don't let the paint drip Your tattooed foot was my type of art Did I ever tell you that? The subway train became my beating heart Your room became my habitat We didn't know it then but we were An entire generation lost To bumper stickered toilet seats And streets we'd never dare to cross Don't let the paint drip Let's not mess this up together Don't let the paint drip Don't let the paint mix Let's not mess this up together Don't let the paint drip It wasn't meant to be graffiti Ah it wasn't meant to be graffiti Ah it wasn't meant to be graffiti Ah it wasn't meant to be graffiti Ah it wasn't meant to be Ah it wasn't meant to be Ah it wasn't meant to be Ah it wasn't meant to be graffiti Ah it wasn't meant to be graffiti Ah—
