I first met you when I was seventeen

You were so like a kid when you spoke to me

The lights were dim and there was chatter all around

How could I have known just what a jewel I had found?

New York City makes you a believer

I can't stand the distance between us

My roof is the best place for catching stars

A star you are

An explosion, you're so damn good to me

Here I am, out here in my ripped jeans

Sprinting just to see you

Gunshot, it's just like paint, boy

Here I am, out here in my ripped jeans

Sprinting just to see you

And maybe it's the look in your eyes

I knew I'd never let them touch you

And you're the one who taught me to fly

I guess I'm glad to say I know you

You always spoke to me about your home where dragons live

You told me that you wanted me to go

You walked so slowly till I came and made you run

You said my hair's like the petals of a sunflower

Your kind brown eyes, they make me a believer

I can't stand the distance between us

Our favourite song's playing on the radio

You said, "don't go"

An explosion, you're so damn good to me

Here I am, out here in my ripped jeans

Sprinting just to see you

Gunshot, it's just like paint, boy

Here I am, out here in my ripped jeans

Sprinting just to see you

And maybe it's the look in your eyes

I knew I'd never let them touch you

And you're the one who taught me to fly

I guess I'm glad to say I know you

It's not fair of me to keep you in this cruel city

Think you should go home

Either everyone fears me or wants their hands on my body

Look, boy, I'm long gone

But with your heart you replaced the gun in my hands

I once told you that I was a dead man

But you, you somehow made me a boy again

A boy again

An explosion, you're so damn good to me

Here I am, out here in my ripped jeans

Sprinting just to see you

Gunshot, it's just like paint, boy

Here I am, out here in my ripped jeans

Sprinting just to see you

And maybe it's the look in your eyes

I knew I'd never let them touch you

And you're the one who taught me to fly

I guess I'm glad to say I know you

Falling

Falling

Falling

I'm Falling
