lyrics

Eve and Adam on a rooftop garden
With lemonade, and magazines
She says maybe later, we could catch a movie
He says, nothing's out I haven't seen

She says then baby, let's go for a walk
There's apple blossoms on the trees
I know that you've been hurt and you're wary
But you've already got me on my knees

And she says, baby
I've seen the softness in your eyes
I've tasted your kiss, heard you sigh
And your heartbeat is my higher power
So come what may
Come history
They're never gonna take you away from me
I'll pick you up when you fall down
Yeah, baby, we can turn the world around

Adam says, I'll think about it
But have you thought out what this could mean?
We're talking fall of Troy and body glitter,
two world wars and James Dean

But she says, baby
I've seen the softness in your eyes
I've tasted your kiss, heard you sigh
And your heartbeat is my higher power
So come what may
Come history
They're never gonna take you away from me
I'll pick you up when you fall down
Yeah, baby, we can turn the world around

Eve and Adam on a rooftop garden
With lemonade and Magazines
He says, how about them apples, baby
She says, now you're seeing what I mean

And she says, baby
I've seen the softness in your eyes
I've tasted your kiss, heard you sigh
And your heartbeat is my higher power
So come what may
Come history
They're never gonna take you away from me
I'll pick you up when you fall down
Yeah, baby, we can turn the world around
