Even if you didn't know

what I was talking about...

or know someone who's gone through it.

You made me not feel alone.

Because I know there are people

who say all these things don't happen.

There are people who forget what it's like

to be 16 when they turn 17.

I know these will all be stories someday.

And our pictures will

become old photographs.

And we'll all become somebody's mom or dad.

But right now these moments

are not stories.

This is happening.

I am here.

And I am looking at her.

And she is so beautiful.

I can see it.

This one moment when you know

you're not a sad story.

You are alive.

You stand up and see the lights

on the buildings...

and everything that makes you wonder.

And you're listening

to that song on that drive...

with the people you love

most in this world.

And in this moment, I swear...

we are infinite.

I:

I will be king

And you

You will be queen

Though nothing

Nothing

will keep us together

We can beat them

Forever and ever

We can be heroes

Just for one day

I:

I will be king

And you

You will be queen

Though nothing

Will drive them away

We can be heroes

Just for one day

We can be us

Just for one day

I:

I can remember

I remember

Standing

By the wall

And the guards

Shot above our heads

Over our heads

And we kissed

As though nothing could fall

Nothing could fall

And the shame

Was on the other side

Oh, we can beat them

Forever and ever

Then we can be heroes

Just for one day

We can be heroes

Just for one day

We can be heroes

We're nothing

And nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying

Then you better not stay

But we could be safer

Just for one day
