Welcome To My Life
Empire of the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's running on empty
It's running on nothing
You could be my love
Before you love me, let me love you
All the things we've tried
Talk us golden, summer for winter
If you love me back
I'll never be lonely
Start of something great
I know we lit a feeling in my veins
Never gonna be the one you hate
'Cause I know how to stay away from pain
I get up at night
All besides, I can see this girl in my life
And she's walking a little closer and making everything
Some kind of emotion (emotion)
I feel the pleasure and pain for you
Welcome to my life
I know that I want you
It's all that I can do
You complete my life
The moment I met you
The love I confess to
All those stars that shine
There's so many out there
Right out the distance
We are too unfirm
The purer electric
Who would've guessed it?
Start of something great
I know we lit a feeling in my veins
Never gonna be the one you hate
'Cause I know how to stay away from pain
I get up at night
All besides, I can see this girl in my life
And she's walking a little closer and making everything
Some kind of emotion (emotion)
I feel the pleasure and pain for you
Start of something great
I know we lit a feeling in my veins
Never gonna be the one you hate
'Cause I know how to stay away from pain
I get up at night
All besides, I can see this girl in my life
And she's walking a little closer and making everything
Some kind of emotion (emotion)
I feel the pleasure and pain for you

Never gonna be the one you hate

I could offer life throughout the sense
I can see this girl in my life
Just she's walking up, baby closer now
Making everything so emotional
I could be pleasure and pain for you
