Walk away to private lands
Of uninspired shame
Our story never-ending
The villain still unnamed
The tall dark stranger waits for you
His face resides the charm
Forget about the oceans
That we're holding in our arms

The tree we climbed, it took us high
Above the iron sun
Lets slip beneath the bedsheets
Now prepare, my dear, to run
The cataclysmic benefits of choices that we made
Hiding from the sounds of angry voices in the shade

There's not a heroine on earth
No bittersweet embrace
Could tarnish the memory of your face

Papercuts and videos
Of films that made us smile
Your heavy handed punchlines
And your sweet sarcastic style
Your footsteps on the pavement
As I watch the tide roll in
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have sinned

So sleepy eyed and weary
As I watch you drift away
You sit and nod politely
While I panic in the fray
Your flowing hair is golden
While the sun stays black and white
We lay in bed so restless
Try to hold on to the night

He says he loves you, you are beautiful
He does not tell a lie
Please hold tight and dream for you and I.
