Forbidden

[Verse 1]

We’re forbidden, or so it’s written
I wish that I could understand
Why love’s embrace is to procreate
And nothing deeper shall ever plant-
-Itself inside of our hearts (hearts)
At least if they can have their way
But you and me, if we got our say
See, we’d already be worlds apart (yeah)
But nobody here goes in or out
No free minds nor bodies allowed
I don’t mind the mounting, work and toil
But to lose you, see, I’d spiral out
But I can never show it (shhh)
Our guardians they can never know it
Despite a life devoid of crime
We’ve been imprisoned for this lifetime

[Chorus]

They say we’ve got it wrong
But I’ve known you far too long
They’ll come and take it from you
They’ll come and take it from me

[Verse 2]

I can’t go on like this
Stealing off for your midnight kiss
When a simple kiss is admissible
As evidence of some crime committed
But they’re the real syndicate
They’re slave drivers, they’re stifling whims
And life begins to feel sink or swim
Run off with me, do you think we can?
It’s worth it, yeah
And we can’t have children so to them we’re worthless
And if we stay they’ll kill me or I’ll hurt them
So breath deep and take my hand
Let’s flee under the bridge at night
With wild abandon wind at our sides
If they line us up in their iron-sights
We’ll forever be together, right?

[Chorus]

They say we’ve got it wrong
But I’ve known you far too long
They’ll come and take it from you
They’ll come and take it from me
They say we’ve got it wrong
But I’ve known you far too long
They’ll come and take it from you
They’ll come and take it from me
