Polar Bear Suit

Riding your bike in the snow in your polar bear suit I tumbled down the hill that day I was in hot pursuit Noses frozen, eyelashes iced, cheeks red like wine Our hearts pounding, palms in sweat, with heat of the warmest kind In the dark we told our secrets and healed wounds from lovers past Morning came and light filled the room, hope swelling fast I fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world I fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world There were wars to protest, rallies to march, Spring was in the air No girl looked as lovely with revolution in her hair We named unborn babies, planned our adventures, laughed in the Sun We knew the stories of famous lovers and we wouldn't be outdone You pinned me down, your face in my sky, how did we not meet before? We traced the steps of how we got here, to fate we couldn't ignore I fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world I fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world Maybe the wars never ended, the world got too warm, but our faces were in the breeze The kids moved out and our hands still touched with ease The songs on the radio still sing of love, I smile with every rhyme To older eyes it's all a candle-lit room, your features smoothed with time We'll build a treehouse and sell all our things, give away all our loot But I'll always have someplace to hang your polar bear suit I fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world I fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world I fell in love with the girl who is going to save my world
