One, two, one, two, one, two

My alma mater all the time
Some like it hotter and hotter
But Jenny and I just like it darker and darker (darker and darker)
(F*ck, oh, I wanna have autotune too)
Mmh, alma mater, ooh (hold on, go for it)
How? (it's on) 
(One)
Don't wanna wake up (you get it?)
We get high when we walk outside (my alma mater)
We get slow when we take a ride
We got dreams we don't care about, man

But, oh, babe
Some dreams I wake up thinkin' 'bout
Some dreams are meant to die
Kill your light, phone dead
End myself in the cold inside (myself in the dead of night)
Yeah, we walk, we get high tonight 
When we walk, we get high tonight (some dreams are meant to die)
Talkin' 'bout blowin' town tonight 
Someone near my alma mater (but who am I? Who am I?)
Take me higher, take me softer (higher, take me higher)
All our friends, they drive, they like it hotter
But, me and Jenny, we just want it darker and darker 

My alma mater
Our friends want it hotter
Me and Jenny, we just want it darker and darker
(One check, one dream, one check)
One dream, one check, one lover
One life to live
Whatever (whatever)
Whatever, whatever

Alma mater, ooh
Don't wanna wake up
We get high when we walk outside (mh)
We get slow when we take a ride
We got dreams we don't care about, man (ooh)

But, oh, babe (ooh)
Some dreams I wake up thinkin' 'bout
Some dreams are meant to die
Kill your light, phone dead
End myself in the cold inside (that's my alibi)
Yeah, we walk, we get high tonight (oh)
When we walk, we get high tonight
Talkin' 'bout blowin' town tonight 
Somewhere near my alma mater (who am I? Who am I?)
Take me higher, take me softer (my alma mater)
All our friends, they drive, they like it hotter
But, me and Jenny, we just want it darker and darker

Baby, I want you, so make it hotter
