[Verse 1]

We knew loving was hard

Still we counted the stars, her head on my chest and her hand on my heart

It helped us forget the scars

All the archaic imprints on our hearts

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I stand at the edge of this grave

Wondering if I made a mistake

But I know there is no going back now, no going back now, no

If I set these bones on fire

And they turn to ash in the pyre

So I'll keep them deep in the ground, deep in the ground, so

[Chorus]

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our memories

As a last hope, as a last hope to one day dig up the leaves

With a shovel, in a raincoat, in the storm that follows me

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our love buried deep

[Verse 2]

We knew loving was worth it

So we'd go back, repaint the house and buy new curtains

Just to start over again and again

Baby I will start over again and again and again

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I stand at the edge of this grave

Wondering if I made a mistake

But I know there is no going back now, no going back now, no

If I set these bones on fire

And they turn to ash in the pyre

So I'll keep them deep in the ground, deep in the ground, so

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our memories

As a last hope, as a last hope to one day dig up the leaves

With a shovel, in a raincoat, in the storm that follows me

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our love buried deep

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our memories

As a last hope, as a last hope to one day dig up the leaves

With a shovel, in a raincoat, in the storm that follows me

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our love buried deep

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our memories

As a last hope, as a last hope to one day dig up the leaves

With a shovel, in a raincoat, in the storm that follows me

Like a fossil, like a fossil, I'll keep our love buried deep

[Verse 1]

There was a summer I met a girl at a snocone stand

She had dark purple hair and a Florida tan

I wanted to be her perfect brand

Of young and deep, without a plan

[Verse 2]

I read the book she wrote, hopeless romance

And memorized The 1975 and I watched her dance

She was a masterpiece, but she was sinking sand

And the way she rolled her eyes, it put me in a trance

[Chorus]

We climbed on the rooftops

And kissed when the ball dropped

Her laugh was my favorite song

We'd stay up late on the phone

Her voice made me feel at home

She's held my heart for so long, so long

[Verse 3]

She was my melting pot, my sweet fondue

It's been four years and I still laugh at when she fell off a roof

She held the world in her eyes, my kind of view

But she couldn't tell a lie I couldn't see right through

[Chorus]

We climbed on the rooftops

And kissed when the ball dropped

Her laugh was my favorite song

We'd stay up late on the phone

Her voice made me feel at home

She's held my heart for so long, so long

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

We climbed on the rooftops

And kissed when the ball dropped

Her laugh was my favorite song

We'd stay up late on the phone

Her voice made me feel at home

Oh she's held my heart for so long, so long

[instrumental]

[Verse 1]

I remember when we were just kids, roaming the town finding places to kiss

I'll still reminisce

You'd call me from midnight to four a.m., talk about life and love and friends

I'll still reminisce

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And now we're watching cars as they drive by

Counting all the headlights

[Chorus]

It's alright, it's alright

I'm right by your side, I'm right by your side baby

I'll be holding you tight, like the first night

We fell in love, how can you blame me

When I am falling as hard as the first time

We drove down this boulevard

[Verse 2]

I remember when you taught me to dance on the side of the road near a firework stand

What a hopeless romance

I remember when we sang in the car, driving so fast and laughing so hard

What a hopeless romance

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And now we're watching movies, up all night

Oh how the time can fly by

[Chorus]

It's alright, it's alright

I'm right by your side, I'm right by your side baby

I'll be holding you tight, like the first night

We fell in love, how can you blame me

When I am falling as hard as the first time

We drove down this boulevard

[Bridge]

I'll still love you when we're old, more than you will ever know

I'll love you just the same

I'll still love you when we're broke and all we have left is our home

I'll love you just the same

I'll still love you when we're cold, all I need is you to hold

I'll love you just the same, whoa

I'll still love you when we're grown, losing our hair and turning to ghosts

I'll love you just the same, whoa

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

It's alright, it's alright

I'm right by your side, I'm right by your side baby

I'll be holding you tight, like the first night

We fell in love, how can you blame me

When I am falling as hard as the first time

We drove down this boulevard

[Verse 1]

We sat on a bench at a small park

A flower in her hair like the postcard

That we sent to her parents out of Denmark

When we left everything behind for a new start

[Verse 2]

We both knew we were so young

She was sipping on a cherry coke with her hair in a loose bun

Hanging her legs out the window, feet in the sun

We were driving down 43 in a car we had stolen

[Chorus]

Now we're singing

After we left it was perfect

No one could tell us no, no, no, no-no

The sky was endless, our miles infinite

We grabbed our passports and flew from home, oh-no

[Verse 3]

Our hotel had a nice view

She was sitting on the balcony with a glass full of ice cubes

Looking at the midnight skyline when all the lights grew

She would watch the planes fly by, but she was my view

[Chorus]

Now we're singing

After we left it was perfect

No one could tell us no, no, no, no-no

The sky was endless, our miles infinite

We grabbed our passports and flew from home, oh-no

[Bridge]

We are so far away, la la la la la la la

After we left it was easy, la la la la

We are so far away, la la la la la la la

Getting away was no mistake, la la la la

We are so far away, la la la la la la la

After we left it was easy, la la la la

We are so far away, la la la la la la la

Getting away was no mistake, la la la la

[Chorus]

After we left it was perfect

No one could tell us no, no, no, no-no

The sky was endless, our miles infinite

We grabbed our passports and flew from home (We grabbed our passports and flew from home)

We grabbed our passports and flew from home (We grabbed our passports and flew from home)

We had to get away from our home

We grabbed our passports and flew from home, oh-no

[Verse 1]

Tell me baby, do you know how beautiful

You really are?

So baby, hold me close, I won't let go

Kiss me under the stars right now

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And watch me fall in love, in love with you

There is nothing else I would rather do

[Verse 2]

Now baby, give me a chance to be your man

I won't let you down, down, down

'Cause baby, you are my world, yeah you are my girl

You deserve any crown you want

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So watch me fall in love, in love with you

There is nothing else I would rather do

[Chorus 1]

You are everything I want in my life

So won't you give me all of you, girl don't take your time

I'm impatiently falling, falling in love, in love with you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Baby, you say you're out of control, tell me something that I don't know

But I'm still here to stay

'Cause baby, the truth be told, I want to grow old

With you anyway

[Pre-Chorus 3]

And I will fall in love, in love with you

There is nothing else I would rather do

[Chorus 2]

I want to wake up right next to you in the morning

So baby take my heart and place it next to yours

I'm impatiently falling, falling in love, in love with you

[Bridge]

Singing oh, whoa

Singing oh

Singing oh, oh

In love with you, in love with you

[Pre-Chorus 4]

Now I will fall in love, in love with you

There is nothing else I would rather do

[Verse 1]

Grab your keys and we'll hit the road

We can leave before anyone knows, away from the crowd

I'll put on a suit and tie

Buy you a dress to wear tonight, and we'll leave this ghost town

[Chorus]

Hold on

Just hold on to me

[Verse 2]

Grab your keys before we're old

I want our love here to grow away from the crowd

I will hold your hand so tight

'Cause I am yours and you are mine, as we leave this ghost town

As we leave this ghost town, oh, oh

[Chorus]

Hold on

Just hold on to me

Hold on

Just hold on to me

Hold on

Just hold on to me

Hold on (hold on)

Just hold on to me

Whoa

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Hold on

Just hold on to me

Hold on

Hold on
