This song is about an experience I (Michael from half an Orange) had while traveling in Florence, Italy when I was 17. It was late at night and I had wondered into a plaza where a bunch of teens from Florence were sitting on steps smoking cigarettes and drinking cheap vodka. I joined them and after...
[Verse 1]
We were flying high
Wiping our Chuck Taylors on the sky
So close to the sun
Pretty like Versailles
Thinking if we all fall we still
Might survive
[Pre-Chorus]
Matches were our currency
Sipping wine was therapy
Cigarettes were always free
We still aged maturely
[Chorus]
We'd stay up, dance too much
Never asking for the time
We'd stay up, drink too much
Never asking for the time
[Verse 2: BIJOU]
We were living life
Two drinks and a good laugh at a time
Not worried about the fall
Only looking to climb
Thinking if we grew up
It'd be a crime
[Pre-Chorus: BIJOU & Half an Orange, Half an Orange]
Matches were our currency
(Matches were our currency)
Sipping wine was therapy
(Sipping wine was therapy)
Cigarettes were always free
(Cigarettes were always free)
We still aged maturely
[Chorus]
We'd stay up, dance too much
Never asking for the time
We'd stay up, drink too much
Never asking for the time
[Bridge: BIJOU & Half an Orange]
Sense of this
We never had sense of this
Sense of this
Does anyone have a sense of this?
Our Chuck Taylors in the sky
(Our Chuck Taylors in the sky)
(Our Chuck Taylors in the sky)
Our Chuck Taylors in the sky
(Our Chuck Taylors in the sky)
(Our Chuck Taylors in the sky)
[Outro]
We'd stay up, dance too much
Never asking for the time
We'd stay up, drink too much
Never asking for the time
(Time, time, time, time)
