Licenses to Hide lyrics

Who's got into that '80s radio?

I've said it for sometime now.

I said we should set it for sometime now.

Who's going for that carbon dating now?

I'm feeling so old, so old, 

but I'm barely a teenager,

years were oversold.

But let's not forget the lives 

of lovers late into your life

as life continues on despite...

...oh, those licenses to hide.

Oh, those licenses to hide.

What dynamic could heal the damage

that you did in your life?

And paint the virgins white.

Or not quite.

What did you learn from early insolence?

The season that never ends.

You were deadly and serious,

this you could depend on.

When will you stop those adolescent trends?

It's funny till it can't bend.

Then when it breaks, it can be funny again.

But let's not forget we're also funny 

when we get undressed.

But, darling, you could use just a little less of...

...oh, those licenses to hide.

Oh, those licenses to hide, oh.

I admit and I'll say it now 

that I love you, I love you.

Fears, storms, and endless invasions,

but I'm here with you.

Let's not forget we've all recovered 

plenty of composures

and now it's time for some exposures of...

...oh, those licenses to hide.

Oh, those licenses to hide.

Oh, those licenses to hide.

What dynamic could heal the damage

that you did in your life?

And paint the nighttime white.

Or not quite.
