Do you remember the taste of my lips that night

I stole a bit of my mother's perfume

Cause I remember when my father put his fist in the wall and separated the dining room

I remember the fear in your eyes

The very first time we snuck into the city

Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds in my breath

Didn't know where I was running to

But I won't look back

Cause we'll be looking for sunlight

Or the headlights

Till our wide eyes burn blind

We'll be listening to the same tunes

That we're going through

To the bottom of the line

And we know that we're headstrong

And our heart's gone

And the timing's never right

But for now let's get away

On a Roman holiday

Could you imagine the taste of your lips if we never tried to kiss on the drive to Queen's?

Cause I imagine the weight of your ribs if you lied between my hips in the backseat.

I imagine the tears in your eyes the very first night I'll sleep without you.

And when it happens, I'll be miles away and a few months late,

Didn't know where I was running to.

But I won't look back...


Cause we'll be looking for sunlight

Or the headlights

Till our wide eyes burn blind

We'll be listening to the same tunes

That we're going through

To the bottom of the line

And we know that we're headstrong

And our heart's gone

And the timing's never right

So for now let's get away

On a Roman holiday

On a Roman holiday


Feet first, don't fall

We'll be running again

Keep close, stand tall


Cause we'll be looking for sunlight

Or the headlights

Till our wide eyes burn blind

We'll be listening to the same tunes

That we're going through

To the bottom of the line

And we know that we're headstrong

And our heart's gone

And the timing's never right

But for now let's get away

On a Roman holiday

On a Roman holiday

On a Roman holiday
