lyrics

A Book We Didn’t Write
 
In a book we didn’t write
In a page that didn’t print
You were a damsel in distress
And I was a savior to be sent
You were tied up to the tracks
And I had the wind against my back
I was riding on a white horse
You were tied up to the dirt floor
 
So I filled bubblegum with helium
We floated in the sky
And never stopped to ask the questions
Why are you always here?
When trouble is so near?
If a rescue is what you call this
Then let’s start it off right with a kiss
I mean, anything can happen
Anything can happen tonight
 
 
On the back of the Black Pearl
Sat my beautiful girl
And Captain Jack
Tied her hands behind her back
And said,
“Today is your last day
Because you’re gonna walk the plank”
But from underneath the ship
I pulled out my bubbilicious
 
And I filled bubblegum with helium
We floated in the sky
And never stopped to ask the questions
Why aren’t they firing their guns?
Or their ginormous canons?
And as the sunset started to peak
You leaned over and kissed my cheek
I mean, anything can happen
Anything can happen tonight
 
When I found out about the pen and the page
And that the whole world was my stage
I stayed up all night and wrote for days
To know that I can create
And not just participate
Instead of reading stories off a shelf
I’ll write a few for myself
So scribble scribble, dot dot, then a line
If you want a story well here’s mine
 
I filled bubblegum with helium
We floated in the sky
And never stopped to ask the question
Why is my favorite color blue?
And why can’t I keep my eyes off you?
If all of this started with a kiss
Then anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything can happen
I mean Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Anything can happen tonight
