You and Me Versus the World

Our love is on fire
Like the heat of a burning summer light
The spark from the moment when our eyes met
We're floating and this world can't stop the truth, it's no use
And if it's me and you tomorrow
This world will soon be sure to follow
and I know we'll make this dream come true for two

And when the
Weight of the world closes in around us
We'll be the
Last ones left standing when they surround us
Even when the whole world's looking for a reason to bury you

Our love is under fire
Like the heat from the barrel of a gun
Alive from the moment when our eyes shut
We're floating and the soul can't stop it, this soul won't stop it
When it's me and you tomorrow
We'll leave this cold world filled with sorrow
and I know we'll make this dream continue through

And when the
Weight of the world closes in around us
We'll be the
Last ones left standing when they surround us
I know this love will never end in silence
Even when the whole world's looking for a reason to bury you

We can say
We can say we're alive and breathing

We can say
We can say we're alive and here to stay

Yeah, uh
Sitting at the bottom of a guillotine
You and me baby up against the Philistines
I don't feel at thing, still action packed
Knowing you and me will always be back to back
Billie Jean, whiskey, Jimmy Beam
Bonnie Clyde, ride through the city scene
Ditsy queens, sunset phantoms
You and me will be the last ones left standing
Commanding the troops, the kids
the people that are handling our biz
I'm staying with you know, who though
I'm staying with you forever as the world's most dangerous duo
Too old, never
There's no such thing
Even in the year three thousand and seventeen
When alien machine UFOs start landing
You and me will be the last ones left standing

Oh,
and when it's me and you tomorrow
this world will soon be sure to follow
and I know we'll make this dream come true for two

And when the
Weight of the world crashes down upon us
We'll be the
Last ones left standing within the darkness
When the
Weight of the world closes in around us
We'll be the
Last ones left standing when they surround us
I know this love will never end in silence
Even when the whole world's looking for a reason to bury you

You and me
You and me versus the whole world

You and me
You and me versus the whole world
