I am floating a hundred skyscrapers outside
Stars don't exist here except the fake ones in the halls of fame
An illusion of happiness that's poisoning our minds
I can't save you but I can try to stay by your side
We ran past the monuments we ran all over town
With a bottle of gin under our skin, Rome felt easy and fine
Until we ran to save our money we ran to save our minds
And we laughed until we cried
I can't save you but I can try to make you warm inside
Darling well it's too late let's just shut our brains
And when we wake the world might seem less insane
You moved slowly in the fluorescent
You moved slowly in the dark
As I filmed you in the park
With your purple hair, you twirled by the castle stairs
We forgot our troubles as the snow fell down
We were poor in money we were rich in time
Our freedom climbed up high
I can't save you but I can do my very best to try
In a cash machine booth hiding from cold
You showed me how to dream
You told me about freedom
As you kissed me on the cheek
You said let yourself loose run wild and free
There's more to life than him
I can't save you but you surely saved me
Darling, sometimes I feel like our freedom is just a scheme
To avoid creating something real
Maybe we should anchor ourselves to another dream
And in that way figure out what freedom means
