Jessie I’m Not Joking Around,

I’ve Seen That Crowd You’re Hanging With And Those Kids Don’t Seem Positive.

Don’t All The Cigs Make You Tired?

You Know I’d Never Ask You To Change, I Only Ask You To Try.



I Know You’re Gonna Do What I Know You’re Gonna Do,

But Twenty-two And Banging Round In Restaurants

Isn’t That Much Prettier Than Banging Round In Bars.

And Why Do You Keep Going In* His Car?



Chorus-

I Don’t Want This To Stop,

I Want You To Know,

I Don’t Want You To Settle,

I Want You To Grow! *

Forget All The Boys

That You Met At The Harbour,

Cos You Aren’t Ready,

It Can Only Get Harder!



Jessie Let’s Go For A Ride,

I Know A Place Where We Could Stop,

I Know A Place Where We Could Drink

And Kiss For A While.

I Know A Place That Always Makes You Smile.



I Know You’re Gonna Say What I Know You’re Gonna Say,

I Know You Look At The Ground*,

I Know You Probably Cry.

You’re A Beautiful Girl

And You’re A Pretty Good Waitress,

But Jessie I Don’t Think I’m The Guy!



Chorus-

I Don’t Want This To Stop,

I Want You To Know,

I Don’t Want You To Settle,

I Want You To Grow! *

Forget All The Things

That I Showed You This Summer,

You’re Too Hard Already,

You’ll Only Get Harder! *



But They Didn’t Name Her For A Saint,

They Named Her For A Storm!

So How’s She Supposed To Think About

How It’s Gonna Feel In The Morning?



She Said, “if Heaven’s Hypothetical,

And If The Cigs Keep You Warm…”

Then How’s She Supposed To Think About

How It’s Gonna Move In The Morning?

How It’s Gonna Move In The Morning?!

Don’t Know How It’s Gonna Move In The Morning!



Hurricane Jess, She’s Gonna Crash Into The Heart Of The Summer,

She Doesn’t Wanna Wait Until She Gets Older!

Hurricane Jess, She’s Gonna Crash Into The Heart Of The Summer,

She Doesn’t Wanna Wait,

She Knows It Only Gets Harder!
