Is there a hole in your heart
Or am I mistaken
I can see your capillary veins
You be the patient, I'll be the surgeon
Just like 1st Grade on the playground all day

And soon enough
You'll hear the blacktop calling for you
(For you)
(For you)
(For you)
After that there is not much else you can do

I am a pirate
You are a princess
We could sail the seven seas
Bring back some presents for all the people
Everyone would love us
Even Courtney would love us

I am a pirate
You are a princess
We could sail the seven seas
Bring back some presents for all the people
Everyone would love us
Even Courtney would love us

Have you forgotten your place?
I'm being sarcastic
That step could kill the bus of kids

Now we have a good thing
She is a bad thing
Why do you want to break us?
Who would want to break us?

And soon enough
You'll hear the blacktop calling your name
Everyday, your life will never be the same
\t\t\t\t

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to PlayRadioPlay!'s song "I Am A Pirate You Are A Princess" tell the story of a boy and a girl who want to escape their mundane lives and go on an adventure together. The boy compares himself to a pirate and the girl to a princess, and suggests that they could sail the seven seas and bring back gifts for everyone. However, there is a sense of insecurity and uncertainty in the lyrics, as the boy asks if there is a "hole in [her] heart" and questions her intentions in wanting to break their relationship.

The metaphorical language in the lyrics is used to convey a sense of fantasy and escapism, as the boy and girl imagine themselves as characters in a storybook. The use of playground imagery and the mention of blacktop calling for the girl suggest a desire to return to childhood innocence and simplicity. The lyrics also touch on the idea of societal pressure and the fear of breaking social norms, as the boy questions why anyone would want to break them apart.

Overall, the lyrics to "I Am A Pirate You Are A Princess" present a whimsical and romanticized view of adventure and escape, while also touching on deeper themes of insecurity and societal pressure.

Line by Line Meaning

Is there a hole in your heart
Are you feeling sad?

Or am I mistaken
Or is it something else?

I can see your capillary veins
I can see the blood vessels in your skin

You be the patient, I'll be the surgeon
You tell me what's wrong and I'll fix it

Just like 1st Grade on the playground all day
We'll spend all day together like kids on the playground

And soon enough You'll hear the blacktop calling for you (For you) (For you) (For you) After that there is not much else you can do
Soon the day will end and you'll have to go home

I am a pirate You are a princess We could sail the seven seas Bring back some presents for all the people Everyone would love us Even Courtney would love us
I'm a rebel and you're royalty, together we can go on an adventure and make everyone happy, even those who don't like us

Have you forgotten your place? I'm being sarcastic That step could kill the bus of kids
Are you forgetting that you're important? Just kidding, don't worry, I won't let you fall

Now we have a good thing She is a bad thing Why do you want to break us? Who would want to break us?
We're strong together, why would anyone want to tear us apart?

And soon enough You'll hear the blacktop calling your name Everyday, your life will never be the same
Tomorrow you'll go back to school and your routine, things will change

I am a pirate You are a princess We could sail the seven seas Bring back some presents for all the people Everyone would love us Even Courtney would love us
We can still go on adventures together and make everyone happy, even if we're not kids anymore

15 years ago this was a song for my first bf and I. I was 17 or 18. Now I feel like I’m totally with the right guy for this song. Even though it was special between two kids I really made it my own song. I love how time can change hearts.

My favorite song by them is "Decipher Reflections from Reality"... great song. There's this amazing song called "Until We Bleed" by Lykke Li. It's not what your everyday song or voice, some say it's kinda girly and what not, I say it's music. Check it out.
