"Paola" lyrics

"Paola"

If you ask me we'll go all the way
Set fire to the school we once went to, you and I
And some might say that we threw our lives away
But Paola, they're all just lies
Cruel and dark like the shadows under your eyes

If you ask me I will sure agree
Can't wait another day, can't wait another year
At 23 the waves came crashing over me
The problem, we worked it out
High and low and lighters in the sky

Now picture a sky where there are no clouds
Turn the city into flames
Everything they built for us
Everything we couldn't change
It's not our mission or our religion
Just something we went through
And no one's gonna tell us what to do

If you close your eyes it disappears
Makes less of a sound than a whisper in your ear
We couldn't say no to a life in stereo
So Paola we go out tonight
High and low and we are out of sight

Now picture a sky where there are no clouds
Turn the city into flames
Everything they built for us
Everything we couldn't change
It's not our mission or our religion
Just something we went through
And no one's gonna tell us what to do

And we're free, listen to me
We'd rather burn than put the fire out
Everything they said to us
Everything we have to doubt
It's not our mission or our religion
Just something we went through
And no one's gonna tell us what to do
