about

lyrics

They all said it couldn’t ever feel like this
They all said it’s only hers and his
They all said I’m dead or better off that way
if my stupid head fell in love with her pretty face

Oh, I would leave this world if I had to
Build a new planet where I’m allowed to be with you
If they say I can’t be yours, if they say you can’t be mine
I’ll cut up these plastic shapes, they use to trace our fate
and live with you in the starlight

I remember the girl who lived down the street
Fellow first grader I died each time our eyes would meet
My mom on the front steps trying to understand
Why I was weird and said I couldn’t be her friend,
I wasn't ready then, but I’m ready now

Oh, I would leave this world if I had to
Build a new planet where I’m allowed to be with you
If they say I can’t be yours, if they say you can’t be mine
I’ll cut up these plastic shapes, they use to trace our fate
and live with you in the starlight

They all punched us on the city bus
They’d rather hurt us than let us love
They all strung us to the metal fence
Told our families they’re better off
never seeing us again

So we will leave this world if we have to
Build a new planet where we’re allowed to love so true
If they say we can’t be ours If they say we can’t be alive
We’ll cut up these plastic shapes, they use to trace our fates
And we will live in the starlight
