The Book We Didn't Write

from Young At Heart by Better Promises

/

lyrics

In a book we didn't write
In a page I didn't print
You were a damsel in distress
And I was savior to be sent
You we're tied up the tracks
And I had the wind against my back
I was riding on a white horse
You we're 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?
And 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 going to walk the plank"
But from underneath the ship
I pulled out my Bubblicious

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 cannons?
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 of the 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 questions
Why is my favorite color blue?
And why can't I keep my eyes off you?
And all of this
Started with a kiss
Then anything can happen
Anything can happen (X4)
Anything can happen tonight
