Kingdom In My Heart
The Glorious Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off
I used to sleep on benches at night
I used to hide in bars all day
Walk by the water and dream of floating away
I only tell you these things
So you can see the joy that knowing you brings
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off
You know things nobody else knows
And you're still not scared of me
When I'm shaking, thinking of death
And fighting for breath, you hold me till I can breathe
I never knew that I could have
A friend that I could trust 'til the bitter end
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
I don't have the keys, but you can knock down the door
You can build your kingdom in my heart, if you want
Life'll rip us to pieces, and we'll just laugh it off
Oh, we can laugh it off
Yeah, we can laugh it off
