[Verse 1]
Met you on the red line
Ink stains
Thrift-store shoes
You laughed at the gold gate
Guarding all the rich kids’ views
We mapped the off-limits places
On the backs of receipts
Turned every “keep out” sign
Into something we could beat
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re skipping over fences
With hand-me-down wings
You said “home’s just a rumor
So let’s go build the thing”
[Chorus]
Paper-crown pirates
Sailing through the suburbs
Treasure in the glove box
Right where your hand is
X marks the moment
Hearts on the atlas
We got nothing fancy
But it feels like magic
Paper-crown pirates
You and me
We planned this
True love
Low budget
Still a living classic
[Verse 2]
Pool lights on the hillside
We dive in from the dark
Pocket full of bus coins
Still we’re stealing all the stars
Your laugh in the driveway
Echoes off their glass
They’re rich in old paintings
We’re rich in running fast
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re chalking secret symbols
On sidewalks they don’t use
You tell me I’m your jackpot
In these worn-out tennis shoes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Take my sleeve
When the world divides us
We’re the crew
Never sunk
Never silent
If the map rips
We’ll just draw another line
Every locked door’s just a dare in disguise
You’re my north
My gold
My last lifeboat
If we lose it all
We still stay afloat
[Chorus]
