Иди ты с миром, в мире к миру, будь скорей Стремительнее сверхзвуковых кораблей Быстрее шаттлов и ракетных батарей Отважнее всех ковбоев, рыцарей и их коней. Хей! Мамы, вы не прячьте дочерей Звёзды падают брильянтами в ладонь Как гусары саблей, опля, разрывали пустоту Так и я перехожу черту Иди ты с миром в мире, где теперь века Наш океан ревёт и мечет, и не видит берега, а А, видно, складно мы шагаем рост в плечо Что хочешь ты найти во мне? Уже теплее, горячо. Чо! Мамы, вы не прячьте дочерей Звёзды падают брильянтами в ладонь Как гусары саблей, опля, разрывали пустоту Так и я перехожу черту Иди ты с миром, в мире к миру, ясень день Я зажигаю солнце, хоть заснули спички, искры лень В ладоши хлопнув, хлоп-хлоп — магия, все в дым Руби на козыря и поцелуи вечно молодым. Дым! Мамы, вы не прячьте дочерей Звёзды падают брильянтами в ладонь Как гусары саблей, опля, разрывали пустоту Так и я перехожу черту Так и я перехожу черту Так и я перехожу черту

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it

Elevator buttons and morning air Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares But right now, my time is theirs Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip-gloss smiles But I don't care, 'cause right now you're mine And you'll say, "Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours" And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong, and Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong, and I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you 'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos Will be ignored, 'cause my heart is yours So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine But they can't take what's ours They can't take what's ours The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours
