Clear Eyes And A Beating Heart

2 clear eyes and a beating heart are all i need.
'cause if this goes on how i planned, darling.
then i'll have you like a soldier has a gun in his hands.

this is the 1st chapter.
i'll be the bedtime story you'll always want to read.
let's be honest: we both need to get away.
always washed away with rain.
when my eyes first met you,
yours were gold but you were platinum, yeah.
i never saw a shooting star fall the way i did for you.

and i know of this secret little hiding place.
so if the timing's right, run away with me.

2 clear eyes and a beating heart are all i need.
'cause if this goes on how i planned, darling.
then i'll have you like a soldier has a gun in his hands.
so let's run through the streets, wearing each others' clothes,
like it's a cold winter night.
your clear eyes and your beating heart are all, all i need.

and this is my call to arms.
i hope this is the record that you won't get tired of.
let's just agree, pennsylvania never seemed so dull in october.
but in the backyard, as the fire grows, so do the ones we have for each other.
thinking of you, i didn't sleep for a week.
oh, insomnia is killing me.

and i know of this secret little hiding place.
so if the timing's right, run away with me.

chorus

have you ever felt this way before?
this autumn season, don't be mean to me.
just give me a sense of reality.
i can't contemplate the thought of you being a lost memory.

2 clear eyes and a beating heart are all i need.
your clear eyes and your beating heart are all i need.
