Empire of the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can remember forever now
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
It's hard to find a way home
When my heart has lost count of that stone
Oh, save me, every voice inside of me just screams
Oh, I'm believing in your arms
There I'll be safe from harm
I don't want to live a life alone
If I'm above all the ones alone
I'm just too exposed to find my way
With a heavy heartbreak
Hit me to your door
I throw myself into the fray
No seals come back
Love is on the way
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
Oh, I'm believing in your arms
There I'll be safe from harm
I don't want to live a life alone
If I'm above all the ones alone
Forever a life a
That's right, forever a life alone, forever a life alone
Forever a life a
That's right, forever a life alone, forever a life alone
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now

Hopeful that love will present itself as a solution
Forever a life a

(2x)
I'ts hard to find the way home
When my heart is lost caught in that stone
Oh save me! Every voice inside of me just screams
Like it's an emergency
I wanna live in your arms
Then I'll be safe from harm
I don't wanna live life alone
If I'm above all the ones I love
Our distant stars to find my way
With a heavy heart to break
Lead me to your door
I threw myself into the flame
Now I see us come back
Love is in the way
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
(2x)
I wanna live in your arms
Then I'll be safe from harm
I don't wanna live life alone
If I'm above all the ones I love
Forever live a- that's right forever live alone
Forever live alone
Forever live a- that's right forever we live alone
We can remember forever
We can remember forever now
(4x)

we can remember forever
we can remember forever now
we can remember forever
we can remember forever now
It's hard to find my way home,
when my heart is lost clouded by a storm
oh save me
every voice inside of me just screams
like it's an emergency
I wanna live in your arms
where there I'll be safe from harm
I don't wanna live a life at all
if I'm apart from the ones I love
I just checked stars to find my way
with a heavy heart I pray
lead me to your door
I pulled myself into the frame
now I see what's coming back
love is on the way
we can remember forever
we can remember forever now
we can remember forever
we can remember forever now
I wanna live in your arms
where there I'll be safe from harm
I don't wanna live a life at all
if I'm apart from the ones I love
forever lover
that's right forever in love I know
forever in love I know
forever lover
that's right forever in love I know
forever in love I know
