When We Were Lions
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Light up another one
Raise my bets
'Cause all I see is you trying your best to lose
Pull me out from underneath
You had my love since we were kids
I'd follow you into the dark
I'd follow you to the edge of the Earth
It pulses through us all
We say that love's enough
But it can't save me now
Yet I keep holding on
Do you remember when we were like lions?
Do you remember when we had it all to live for?
Pull myself into the light
See your face smiling one last time
Before I have to disappear
I lost your hand in the flood
I've walked for miles looking for you
I've dreamed about you coming back
I've dreamed that you never left
It pulses through us all
We say that love's enough
But it can't save me now
Yet I keep holding on
Do you remember when we were like lions?
Do you remember when we had it all to live for?
I don't think I can wait here any longer
'Cause now I know how emptiness feels
How it feels
Do you remember when we were like lions?
Do you remember when we had it all?
Do you remember when we were like lions?
Do you remember when we had it all?
