True Rulers

I see you sitting there
Looking just a little like me
We’re both too proud
To say anything real
Things are bad,
But when you ask me if it’s all over,
Don’t you know how I feel?

I remember back at BHS,
Killing time on the courtyard steps
Thinking we were rebels
But the world was unimpressed
It was just so easy to love you,
The way you laughed at all my best defenses
Made the world’s most convincing actor
Come back to his natural senses

We ain’t got much,
But we got each other,
And I can see
That’s all that I wanted all along

We were born in a minefield
In a world that’s spinning
Like a roulette wheel,
Where everybody is so scared
But they can’t slow down
You were the first good thing
I let myself in
And if I ever made you doubt I love you,
Let me tell you what a fool I’ve been
