Roman Holiday Lyrics
Do you remember the taste of my lips that night
I stole a bit of my mother's perfume
'Cause I remember when my father put his fist through the wall that separated the dining room
I remember the fear in your eyes
The very first time we snuck into the city pool
Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds in my breath
Didn't know where we were running to
But I won't look back
'Cause we'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be listening to the same tunes
That we're going through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
Could you imagine the taste of your lips
If we never tried to kiss on the drive to Queens
'Cause I'll imagine the weight of your ribs
If you lie between my hips in the backseat
I imagine the tears in your eyes
The very first night I'll sleep without you
And when it happens I'll be miles away
And a few months late
Didn't know where I was running to
But I won't look back
'Cause we'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be listening to the same tunes
That we're going through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
So for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
On a Roman holiday
'Cause we'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be listening to the same tunes
That we're going through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
On a Roman holiday
On a Roman holiday
I stole a bit of my mother's perfume
'Cause I remember when my father put his fist through the wall that separated the dining room
I remember the fear in your eyes
The very first time we snuck into the city pool
Late December with my heart in my chest and the clouds in my breath
Didn't know where we were running to
But I won't look back
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be listening to the same tunes
That we're going through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
If we never tried to kiss on the drive to Queens
'Cause I'll imagine the weight of your ribs
If you lie between my hips in the backseat
I imagine the tears in your eyes
The very first night I'll sleep without you
And when it happens I'll be miles away
And a few months late
Didn't know where I was running to
But I won't look back
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be listening to the same tunes
That we're going through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
So for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
On a Roman holiday
Or the headlights
Till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be listening to the same tunes
That we're going through
To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong
And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right
But for now let's get away
On a Roman holiday
On a Roman holiday
On a Roman holiday

A "Roman Holiday" refers to making a spectacle of someone, or to cause pain, sort of like a masochist and sadist relationship. To me, these lyrics refer to a rebellious teen trouble maker who is in love and sort of getting their loved one in trouble with them. Halsey, or the antagonist seems to enjoy making her significant other anxious but for the purpose of enjoyment and freedom.
