[Verse 1]
Let's find some other place nobody knows
Start a brand new nation
With a population of two
We'll have no calendars and no controls
Just the open ocean
And a population of two

[Chorus]
Out of all the birds who came before
And all the ones who will surely come knockin'
What once was locked for you will open
'Cause I prefer you

[Verse 2]
Ditch your phone, ditch your keys
Let's hoof it, hoof it, uh
Into a brand new nation of two
Heart to hearts, PB&J's, mix CDs
Our own radio station
For a population of two

[Chorus]
Out of all the birds who came before
And all the ones who will surely come knockin'
What once was locked for you will open
'Cause I prefer you
[Post-Chorus]
We gotta get M-I-A, A-S-A-P
We gotta get M-I-A, A-S-A-P
We gotta get M-I-A, A-S-A-P

[Verse 3]
We'll spend our years makin' faces, growin' young together
In our good old nation of two
And when I finally fall asleep, you can follow me
Back to the arms of the mother
Back to the beginning where I'll be waitin' for you

[Bridge]
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Have you ever felt this way before?
Have you ever felt this way before?

[Chorus]
Out of all the birds who came before
And all the ones who will surely come knockin'
What once was locked for you will open
'Cause I prefer you

[Outro]
Yeah, oh
Yeah
Oh, prefer
I prefer you
