Have you ever slept till the afternoon,

when the sun is shining and the day is no longer new?

and you're left just thinking

"what and why and how am I supposed to live like this?"
G
Let me remind you
[Refrão]
Fmaj7 C
We'll make ten thousand paper stars
Am G
and they'll be reminders that we'll make it out alive

'cause you are exactly what I've been looking for

show you the world through someone else's eyes

as we kiss in the dark and fantasise a future

We can live with the dog and three hour breakfasts

C
but I don't think it's worth it
G
We've got bigger tasks at hand
[Refrão]

and they'll be reminders that we'll make it out alive
