Alex Dezen - Leonardo lyrics

[Verse 1] She was just a young girl In the early nineteenth century And I was a teenager Getting in fights in the city She was stuck all alone In a world full of luxury Ready to jump off the boat And throw her life away into the sea [Verse 2] Then she met a young man Who's been in a ton of pretty good movies My girlfriend would still sleep with him Even in his forties He was kind of an artists A cheesy artist painter guy When I was a cowardly guy He was a brave one, willing to die [Chorus] Cause he was ready when the ship went down And I was crying in the fourteenth row Trying not to make a sound Cause honestly I would probably just freak out Amber yelling at me, "don't let go" I know I'll never be a Leonardo [Verse 3] He was cool, so cool Like a Dylan So brave and confident And I was just kind of a short Jewish kid With long hair and green dye in it He wasn't looking for romance You can say the same about a bomb or a bullet Love and hate can come when you least expect it [Verse 4] He just wanted to paint her Make her as sharp as she was soft But that kind of seemed to me To be an excuse to get her clothes off Of course I tried to do that one time When I was still in college She laughed at me and said "Are you f**ing serious?" [Chorus] He was ready when the ship went down And I was crying in the fourteenth row Trying not to make a sound Cause honestly I would probably just freak out Amber yelling at me, "don't let go" I know I'll never be a Leonardo [Bridge] All the ice and the rocks and the greed And all the other things that I can't see Are just a few things that would keep me From saving Kate, I bet I would do whatever I can, you know Pray to God for a helping hand But it's pretty sh**ty circumstances I hope you understand [Chorus] He was ready when the ship went down And I was crying in the fourteenth row Trying not to make a sound Cause honestly I would probably just freak out Amber yelling at me, "don't let go" I know I'll never be But maybe that's okay If you say you love me I know I'll never be a Leonardo
