‘You are such an idiot’, you said and laughed while running away so that I chased you, I knew you wanted me to follow. ‘You can't run faster than me but you always make my heart beat quicker than a raindrop that belongs where you go’. You knew I was just about to ask you to go out again and your lips made it easy and the answer was yes. You knew I was just about to ask you for a kiss and then once again the answer was in your lips. ‘Sing that song you played when we first met, I can still read the lyrics in your eyes’. ‘I can't remember that song but I will make a new one so we can just walk for another thousand miles’. I knew you were just messing around but I thought you might not regret. I was looking for the best and then I found something even better than I thought I'd ever get.

Broken Flags 03:45
Someone has turned on the light, it's time to cross the world. I know it'll be a long fight on my own with my words. But it's what I've been waiting since I heard a few songs about frustrating verses I can rely on. Now it's time to do our best, to find a flag and an exit. Our music is already dressed and only you can undress it. Let's make us invincible, let's make our music slide. We are unbreakable and time is in our side. Open your eyes, cause they're ice rained in the skies, and meanwhile I'll find a song. Wake up, cause your make-up can flake but your smile has to stay on. I know you turned on the light so we can cross the world, so please help me find whatever started this war. Now I know we are invincible, we no more need to hide cause every day more people are on the right side.

Tell me where you are so I can go home or if you want you can be the one who comes. We only need a guitar and a few chords, we'll be okay as long as we make up new words. Let me be the shotcaller for once, it'll be our last chance, our first dance. I'll ask you only one more time ‘is it a crime if I ask ‘are you mine?’’. Though you're the one to decide I'll let you know I’d rather be your b-side. You always say all people promises suck, I say I promise you I got your back.

Again 02:53
Let's play a song that we can't lose, I’ll make you an offer that you can't refuse: today we will create our own monster and travel the world on a roller coaster. Your little young cold hands warm mine up, goosebumps all over my back like wheels running down your hair hill, like your eyes burning wood and steel. If you want we can have one of those unrepeatable nights again. Let's beat the fear out of our minds, let's take every song as a sign and dance until we can't stand up, never worry about where we end up. Let's try, mess up and fix, let's build a wall with our own bricks and call it a home, sleep once in a while and come back when we'd flown a thousand miles. If you want we can have one of those only one time things again.

Later On 02:52
Later on I found this had some meaning, all these words I wrote for you so sweetly. Fist your hand after you understand everything I said so cowardly. Love me do, she loves you, yeah yeah yeah, she loves me too. And if she doesn't then I'll write a song, (like this one). Now I know nobody cares, why I pray, what I sing, what I actually say, it might bring some meaning to your heart, but I honestly don't care. Blackbird swearing, no no no, I shouldn't write the first thing that comes to my mind, (but I do).

Since I first saw you I knew I'd be going for you, and you know I still do, I'd chase you every night if I could. I looked all around your neighbourhood to find out if I was any good for you and what you want to be. I dreamt of where we were gonna go, how we would lose control and how impossible was our reality. Then I tripped and fell in love with you. ‘For today it is enough but I know I'll need more soon’. I followed you all the way to the moon and you looked back to me and I looked up to you. Since you first saw me I knew there was something hiding. Tell me what your eyes mean, they're clouds with no silver linings. You weren't on the mood and we both misunderstood leading to the lightnings that cross the sky tonight. Thought I was done for the day but darling you blew me away and I ended up sleeping in your eyes.

I want to go into the maze and look for you there. I want to go and lose myself, never find the way back out, I just want to build a home so we can stay and never know anything new except each new day. Let's get lost and find ourselves and let's move on and on. Let's sow just one dream and then let's reap a thousand songs. Let's make it so you and I are just one word, one chord. Our bed sheets will be the stars and we'll be the whole world. And the nights are falling, casting an old spell that turns darkness into outer space. I want to keep going as long as we cannot tell where we are in this maze.
