I fell in love with a place called Rome and an object named the sea.
They caught me up within their arms and ran away with me.
We saw the wonders of the world and kissed the midnight skies.
They crowned me with the mountaintops and spun stars into my eyes.

I needed someone to call mine; I was a Queen without a King.
I found no love in treasure chests filled with diamonds and golden things.
I stole a map to take a trip and found I didn't have a clue.
That all the splendor in the world I'd find when I met you.
