And you throw your head back laughing Like a little kid
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted
In a world of boys, he's a gentleman
Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
The system's breaking down
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
You saw me start to believe for the first time
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
One single thread of gold tied me to you
You know it might be worth it for once
I was supposed to sweat you out
You said, "I'll never leave you alone"
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Were there clues I didn't see?
He built a fire just to keep me warm
'Cause my baby's fit like a daydream
Every time you smile, I smile
And for the first time what's past is past
I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
I get mystified by how this city screams your name
