we could be invincible

we could be invincible, you know

we could fly to rome with gilded wings

and rule france from the halls of the versaille

let's serenade pedestrians in birkenstocks and visors

screaming ironic throwback lyrics at the top of our lungs

from the edge of the rustiest railings we can find

we may be tone-deaf but our song will be perfect

with the taste of freedom on our lips

and our hearts stitched painstakingly onto our sleeves

we’ll be those star-crossed lovers

delirious, foolish, and blinded by our youth

straight from the pages of a storybook

the cynics will shake their heads, maybe throw their dusty six-strings, their ripped manuscripts, their broken dreams at us

they’ll try to weigh us down with their alcohol tears, bringing us back to reality

but we’ll just laugh

because time’s running out and there isn’t a moment to waste

so maybe you can show me your favorite movie so I’ll have an excuse to stare at your face for two hours

and maybe I can teach you how to play guitar so that your fingers can brush against mine again and again

me and you

we could be invincible, you know

we could end wars and walk on water

and maybe

just maybe

you could want me

the way I want you
