Promise the Stars
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And race through the sky
And like the hundreds of airplanes we're floating way up high
We'll never look down
We'll build our own town
And like the thousands of clouds we will never touch the ground
But would you risk some broken bones
This could be home
Maybe I'm down low
Maybe I'm up high
Maybe I'm losing my own mind
You know that there are no other two hearts closer than ours
Maybe you'll follow
Maybe you'll stay
I'm praying you won't give yourself away
You know that you are the only one I promise the stars
You are
With your hand in mine
We'll soar through the night
And like the dozens of spaceships we'll dance with sattelites
We'll keep our eyes closed
And we won't let go
And with the millions of stars we'll will never be alone
But would you risk some broken bones
Just to call this place home
This could be home
Maybe I'm down low
Maybe I'm up high
Maybe I'm losing my own mind
You know that there are no other two hearts closer than ours
Maybe you'll follow
Maybe you'll stay
I'm praying you won't give yourself away
You know that you are the only one I promise the stars
You are
I want you my only lover
And I want you my only lover
Maybe I'm down low
Maybe I'm up high
Maybe I'm losing my own mind
You know that there are no other two hearts closer than ours
Maybe you'll follow
Maybe you'll stay
I'm praying you won't give yourself away
You know that you are the only one I promise the stars
Maybe I'm down low
Maybe I'm up high
Maybe I'm losing my own mind
You know that there are no other two hearts closer than ours
Maybe you'll follow
Maybe you'll stay
I'm praying you won't give yourself away
You know that you are the only one I promise the stars
Maybe I'm down low
Maybe I'm up high
Maybe I'm losing my own mind
You know that there are no other two hearts closer than ours
Maybe you'll follow
Maybe you'll stay
I'm praying you won't give yourself away
You know that you are the only one I promise the stars
You are

Let's take off in flight
Let's embark on a journey together
And race through the sky
And travel at high speed
And like the hundreds of airplanes we're floating way up high
Like many airplanes, we'll be soaring through the air
We'll never look down
We won't focus on our worries or fears
We'll build our own town
We'll create our own world
And like the thousands of clouds we will never touch the ground
Like clouds, we'll stay floating in the air
But would you risk some broken bones
But are you willing to take risks?
Just to call this place home
To create a place where we belong
This could be home
This place could be our home

Holding hands with you
