Empire & The Sun
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.
These walls don't run from anything
These walls don't run from anything
They stand
Still
'Cause you're the empire and the sun
You're the voice that calls me home
And you're the place that makes me want to stay
But your walls I cannot climb
You are, you are
I'm a house on fire, and everyone is leaving
I'm a house on fire, and everyone is leaving
Me
'Cause you're the empire and the sun
You're the voice that calls me home
And you're the place that makes me want to stay
But your walls I cannot climb
You are, you are
I could never love someone that could love someone like me
I could never love someone that could love someone like me
I could never love someone that could love someone like me
I could never love someone that could love someone like me
I could never love someone that could love someone like me
Someone like me
Like me
'Cause you're the empire and the sun
You're the voice that calls me home
And you're the place that makes me want to stay
But your walls I cannot climb
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
I could never love someone that could love someone like me
Anyone falls, anyone falls
They ran away
