will and sam are singing really loudly | now the girls are here they're not practicing any more | there's a quiet one asking me what i think and she's telling me her hero is friends with gustav klimt | and michelangelo carved his perfect david from an imperfect damaged block of marble || she's never had the armour i do | smiling with her hand in my sleeve | somehow she's disarming me and it's challenging | when she shows me that smile everything is worthwhile | we're lucky to know young romance || i can see exactly when i've kissed her | there's a rainbow of make-up on my glasses | and i know i should use my microfibre cloth but she thinks it's hot when i clean them on my t-shirt | i so love i know her in a biblical sense | i don't mind her 20 years to my 29 || she's never had the armour i do | smiling with her hand in my sleeve | somehow she's disarming me and it's challenging | she loves me like she's never been hurt | because she's never been hurt | oh lord don't let it be me | responsibility | when she shows me that smile everything is worthwhile | we're lucky to know young romance | we never fight, everything is just right | we're lucky to know young romance || and i asked in a dream what she sees in me? | well, she believes even a bag in the street that blows in the breeze and dances free is beautiful | i said my little pea that's a charming speech | was it egon schiele who drew your body? | she laughed | 'it's a dream' | and stole all the sheets | it's typical | it's typical | it's really cool | and i love to help polishing her self- esteem although usually she hides it for safe keeping | matthew asked exactly what i see in her and i didn't know | i do now it's the love that i learn | i can intertwine her time into mine | our lives interleave | i wish i didn't have to leave || she's never had the armour i do | smiling with her hand in my sleeve | somehow she's disarming me and it's challenging | she loves me like she's never been hurt | because she's never been hurt | oh lord don't let it be me | responsibility | when she shows me that smile everything is worthwhile | we're lucky to know young romance | we never fight, everything is just right | we're lucky to know young romance
