Blockheart Romance

Yeah, yeah Street lamps flickering on the block

We were just trying to beat the clock

Corner store meeting, hiding

from the rain

Two different worlds but we felt the same pain

You had your guard up,

looking at the street But I saw the softness when our eyes

would meet (hmm-mmm)

They said we wouldn't make it past July

But they don't see the fire in your eyes

This is our concrete rose,

growing through the cracks

Holding onto hope, never looking back

They can build the walls,

they can lock the gate

But they can't stop our love,

they can't change our fate (no-oh-oh)

Late night

on the fire escape,

sharing dreams of flight

Watching sirens painting patterns in the night

Hand in hand we walk through

the crowded avenue

Nothing in this broken town matters without you (yeah-eah)

Even when the

storm is

raging on our block

We are built on stone,

we are built on rock They

can't break us down,

no

This is our concrete rose,

growing through the cracks

Holding onto hope, never looking back

They can build the walls,

they can lock the gate

But they can't stop our love,

they can't change our fate

Concrete

rose... Yeah, growing through the cracks (mmm-mmm)
