Mountains
Sande Emeli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And that we're going to build a house with lots of windows
And when we have the kids we'll tell them to remind we
Of where we were now so we never get lazy
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
I'd never work these hours if I didn't love you
My hands are always red and sunshine I sleep through
If you say we're going to move somewhere with neighbors less crazy
You know I'm going to be there, 'cause I trust my baby
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
I keep my fingers crossed that we're going to be able
I touch the wood for luck, on our broken table
I know that it's our heart that's gonna save us
If we never come back how can they blame us?
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
