Eurydice holds my arm close
She whispers who she loves most
With a wink and a folded note
Is this the plan? Is it tonight?
I'm Orpheus in the school play
And she my love on and off the stage
A chemistry we can't fabricate
Alchemy! We spin gold!
Told to wait for cues
That tell us what to do
But we won't play the fool
Meet me by the shrine
Out of our parents' sight
There we plot our own lives
With bodies intertwined
The gods'll take our side
When they hear our plight
And grant us a starry night
To make our flight
When Orpheus heard he lost her
He smashed his harp out of anger
He went hell but he lost her
I won't do the same
College dreams stand in our way
A plot to pull you away from me
We'll tear up the script our parents' made
We're 18! Aren't we free?
Told to wait for cues
That tell us when to do
But we won't play the fool
Meet me by the shrine
Out of our parents' sight
There we plot our own lives
With bodies intertwined
The gods'll take our side
When they hear our plight
And grant us a starry night
To make our flight
Can you see the white horses?
With their bright silver holsters
Goddess Selene whips and forces
Them to light up our sky
Can you hear Apollo barking
Not my son not our daughters
You must obey my orders
Or you'll pay the price
I opened up the note
I looked down at what she wrote...
To run or see it through?
Every kid must choose
But we should wait it's true
Just one term or two
When summer break is due...
Prove all adults are fools
And meet me at the shrine
Out of our parents sight
There we plot our own lives
With bodies intertwined
The gods'll take our side
When they hear our plight
And grant us a starry night
To make our flight
