You fell down the stairs into my arms
And swiftly ran the other way
And I heard the steady swell of applause
The two drunk kids trying to figure out which way was home
They got lost as they were taking off each others clothes
They realized there was a hole in the boat
And with no lifesaver you try your best to float
And eventually the sky did return and I was there outside in green
And I watched the world being reborn till 1am
So I thought I'd let you know it was beautiful
Slow-dancing to tunes of Billy Holiday
The city looked wonderful that way
And love just like blood will always stain
And if I could reverse it I don't think that it'd be worth it
Cause I know in my heart I would never let you tumble to the ground
No I'll never let you fall
I would never let you tumble to the ground
And swiftly ran the other way
And I heard the steady swell of applause
The two drunk kids trying to figure out which way was home
They got lost as they were taking off each others clothes
They realized there was a hole in the boat
And with no lifesaver you try your best to float
And eventually the sky did return and I was there outside in green
And I watched the world being reborn till 1am
So I thought I'd let you know it was beautiful
Slow-dancing to tunes of Billy Holiday
The city looked wonderful that way
And love just like blood will always stain
And if I could reverse it I don't think that it'd be worth it
Cause I know in my heart I would never let you tumble to the ground
No I'll never let you fall
I would never let you tumble to the ground

'And I watched the world being reborn, ‘Till one a.m.'
i love that line so much.
i think it's about two kids that loved each other realizing it wouldn't work out (the 'hole in the boat'), but the narrator would never take any of it back because it was so amazing while it lasted.
just all of their voices coming in right after the clapping with "you fell down the stairs into my arms". ahh just amazing. this is like the perfect song really. the lyrics are so young, but they know what their talking about. and i might as well not even say how great that one line is, cuz it just goes without saying that whoever made that line is a fxcking genious hands down. (they all are but you get it)
And I was there outside in green
And I watched the world being reborn, ‘Till one a.m."
reminds me of laying in the grass with a boy...and just talking and seeing the world through new eyes.
