Do you remember
the taste of my lips that night
I stole a bit
of my mother's perfume
Cause I remember
when my father
put his fist through
The wall that separated
the dining room
And I remember
the fear in your eyes
The very first time
we snuck into the city pool
Late December with my heart
in my chest
and the clouds of my breath
Didn't know
where we were running to
But don't look back
We'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be lacing the same shoes
That we've worn through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
Could you imagine
the taste of your lips
If we never tried to kiss
on the drive to Queen's
Cause I imagine
the weight of your ribs
If you lied
between my hips in the backseat
I imagine the tears in your eyes
The very first night
I'll sleep without you
And when it happens
I'll be miles away
And a few months late
Didn't know
where I was running to
But I won't look back
We'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be lacing the same shoes
That we've worn through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
Feet first don't fall
We'll be running again
Keep close stand tall
We'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be lacing the same shoes
That we've worn through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
