"Paper Crowns" lyrics

"Paper Crowns"

When we were 14
We went to the movies
I looked at the screen
Told you that could be you and me
The girls looking past you
The boys looking through me
They've got no idea that we're gonna be

Breaking down the walls and running for the hills
We'll be superstars just burning dollar bills
I did everything I told you that I would one day
This is all that we've ever wanted
But the look on your face says

Take me back to what we found
Before we burn our castle down
King and queen, we ran this town
When all we had to give were paper crowns
Crowns, crowns
Paper crowns

Dropped out of class and I moved to the city
I'll make just enough to afford you a wedding ring
I said "I'll be back and I'm taking you with me"
Just you wait, we're as young as we'll ever be

Breaking down the walls and running for the hills
We'll be superstars just burning dollar bills
I did everything I told you that I would one day
This is all that we've ever wanted
But the look on your face says

Take me back to what we found
Before we burn our castle down
King and queen, we ran this town
When all we had to give were paper crowns
Crowns, crowns
Paper crowns

[?]

Take me back to what we found
Before we burn our castle down
King and queen, we ran this town
When all we had to give were paper crowns
Crowns, crowns
Paper crowns
