| I was ready to jet, yet
|
| I couldn’t turn around
|
| And walk the other way
|
| To the runway off the ground
|
| The look on your face
|
| Man, it was pulling' at my heart
|
| Cuz I knew that if I left you
|
| Everything would fall apart
|
| You were getting sicker
|
| And I just couldn’t breathe
|
| But I knew that if I loved you
|
| It was best for me to leave
|
| Make somethin' of myself
|
| In spite of everything
|
| And build a life where we
|
| Need not worry bout the means
|
| Yeah, I was runnin', runnin'
|
| Runnin' from the pain
|
| Runnin' for my life
|
| Cuz I was sick of playing games
|
| This fighting you to save you
|
| Was a bunch of wasted time
|
| Broken dreams that kept on
|
| Just on itchin' at my spine
|
| And now I’m on the road
|
| But I won’t be turning back
|
| You’re still my number one
|
| And I know we’re all we have
|
| And no matter where we travel
|
| Know you’ll never be alone
|
| If I lose myself in transit
|
| I’ll always make it home
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| With the world on a string
|
| And we can sing
|
| With a heart on fire
|
| With bright light dreams
|
| Chasing simple things
|
| One day I tell you
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| With the world on a string
|
| And we can sing
|
| With a heart on fire
|
| Yeah, with bright light dreams
|
| Chasing simple things
|
| One day I tell you
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| We were sittin' on a toolbox
|
| Chevy truck, jacked up
|
| Talkin' bout our future
|
| With the stereo turned up
|
| Reminiscing of the many
|
| Blessings in disguise
|
| Now we hold our own
|
| When we’re talkin' to the wise
|
| Truth be told, man
|
| You’re bound to lose your stride
|
| The rug is gonna trip you
|
| On a beaten, bumpy ride
|
| But you gotta find it in you
|
| To remember why you tried
|
| Remember whos your reason
|
| The reason you survive
|
| And spend whatever’s left
|
| So you can run that extra mile
|
| And make it through another day
|
| And force another smile
|
| I had it figured out
|
| But I had so much to learn
|
| Everything that I was sure of
|
| Was enlightened as it burned
|
| You can’t rewrite your memories
|
| No matter how you change
|
| The ones who loved you then
|
| Are the lovers that remain
|
| And no matter where we travel
|
| Know you’ll never be alone
|
| I can lose myself in transit
|
| But I’ll always make it home
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| With the world on a string
|
| And we can sing
|
| With a heart on fire
|
| With bright light dreams
|
| Chasing simple things
|
| One day I tell you
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| With the world on a string
|
| And we can sing
|
| With a heart on fire
|
| Yeah, with bright light dreams
|
| Chasing simple things
|
| One day I tell you
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| One day, one day
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| With the world on a string (With the world on a string)
|
| And we can sing
|
| With a heart on fire
|
| With bright light dreams
|
| Chasing simple things
|
| One day I tell you (One day I tell you)
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| With the world on a string (With the world on a string)
|
| And we can sing
|
| With a heart on fire
|
| Yeah, with bright light dreams
|
| Chasing simple things
|
| One day I tell you (One day I tell you)
|
| We’re gonna be kings
|
| We’re gonna be kings |
