riding your bike in the snow in your polar bear suit
i tumbled down the hill that day, i was in hot pursuit
noses frozen, eyelashes iced, cheeks red like wine
our hearts pounding, our palms in sweat with heat of the warmest kind
in the dark we told our secrets and healed wounds from lovers past
morning came and light filled the room, hope swelling fast
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
there were wars to protest, rallies to march, spring was in the air
no girl looked as lovely with revolution in her hair
we named unborn babies and planned our adventures, laughed in the sun
we knew the stories of famous lovers and we wouldn’t be outdone
well you pinned me down, your face in my sky, how did we not meet before
we traced the steps of how we got here, to fate we couldn’t ignore
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
maybe the wars never ended, the world got too warm, but our faces were in the breeze
the kids moved out and our hands still touched with ease
but we’ll build a treehouse and sell all our things, give away all our loot
but i’ll always have someplace to hang your polar bear suit
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save my world
