  • (Park Hill romance) We got the love but they put out the fire
    (Park Hill romance) 'Cause they expect us to walk on the wire
    (Park Hill romance) We got the love but they put out the fire
    (Park Hill romance) 'Cause they expect us to walk on the wire

    A kid lifts up a spray can
    And never thought it would be famous what he did
    Turned the mess into a dreamland
    With a quirky act of romance
    A version of Romeo and Juliet
    This time with Adidas sneakers and cigarettes
    A couple of kids trying to cut down the safety net
    They twisted the story so they could bring glory to it

    I love ya, will you marry me?
    Oh, what a shame we gotta pay for reality
    Ain't it sad, sad, sad?

    (Park Hill romance) We got the love but they put out the fire
    (Park Hill romance) 'Cause they expect us to walk on the wire
    (Park Hill romance) We got the love but they put out the fire
    (Park Hill romance) 'Cause they expect us to walk on the wire

    They didn't write her name on the article
    That to me just seems pretty farcical
    Now coppers take coppers
    Out of his hands from a ban from alcohol
    Fundamental narcissistic
    Tried to make out he didn't exist
    When they wrote on the what
    When they wrote on the
    T-shirts, cool merch, postcards
    And lighting it up like a piece of art
    They kicked him to the side and left him to starve
    On the memory that's re-breaking his broken heart

    I love ya, will you marry me?
    Oh, what a shame we gotta pay for reality
    Ain't it sad, sad, sad?
    I love ya, will you marry me?
    Oh, what a shame we gotta pay for reality
    Ain't it sad, sad, sad?

    Every day, every day, every single day
    Every day, every day, every single day

    I love ya, will you marry me?
    Oh, what a shame we gotta pay for reality
    Ain't it sad, sad, sad?
    I love ya, will you marry me?
    Oh, what a shame we gotta pay for reality
    Ain't it sad, sad, sad?

    (Park Hill romance) We got the love but they put out the fire
    (Park Hill romance) 'Cause they expect us to walk on the wire
    (Park Hill romance) We got the love but they put out the fire
    (Park Hill romance) 'Cause they expect us to walk on the wire
