King
Sons & Lovers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling just the same as me
It's hidden in the habits of the life that we both lead
And I remember, we were chased down every mile,
Not let off for a moment,
But now it's wearing us both out.

So we can waste our time, with all these tired stories.
We can make up our own minds.

Let's get lost.
Loose our heads, turn our alarm clocks off.
Live a little more for the moment, live a little more for now.
Forget all the costs, lets reclaim these crowns that we have lost
Live a little more for the moment.
And they'll sing Long Live the King.

Now we look back,
On every single day,
On every word we whispered, and every plan we made,
And I see you with those eyes, china blue,
I don't know where we're going,
Darling I'm with you.

And we can waste our time, with all these tired stories.
We can make up our own minds.

Let's get lost.
Loose our heads, turn our alarm clocks off.
Live a little more for the moment, live a little more for now.
Forget all the costs, lets reclaim these crowns that we have lost
Live a little more for the moment.
And they'll sing Long Live the King.
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King

Let's get lost.
Loose our heads, turn our alarm clocks off.
Live a little more for the moment, live a little more for now.
Forget all the costs, lets reclaim these crowns that we have lost
Live a little more for the moment.
And they'll sing Long Live the King.




Long live the King
Long live the King
