Lyrics Paradise - Moonrunner83, Emma Rowley

Paradise

Take me home, I’m weary
And pulling at the seams
Rest my bones when I’m buried
And sleeping six feet deep
I’ll hold you up and hold us tighter
Between the rise and fall
It’s not enough to start a fire
If we can’t burn it all
We are the kings and queens of broken hearts
And long lost dreams
We are the memories of shooting stars
Lost to these machines
We are the dancers on the graves
And all of the ashes that remain
We are the kings and queens of long lost hearts
And broken hopes and dr-
Take my faith, ignite it
And watch the shadows die (watch the shadows die)
And here we stand united
And watch the white flags fly (ooh-ooh)
And every shot that we take and heart that we break
Is walking in paradise (walking in paradise)
It’s not enough to start a fire (mm-mm)
If we can’t start it right
We are the kings and queens of broken hearts
And long lost dreams
We are the memories of shooting stars
Lost to these machines
We are the dancers on the graves
And all of the ashes that remain
We are the kings and queens of long lost hearts
And broken hopes and dreams
We are the kings and queens
We are the long lost dreams
We are the kings and queens
We are the lost machines
Every shot that we take and heart that we break
Is walking in paradise
It’s not enough to start a fire
If we can’t start it right
We are the kings and queens of broken hearts
And long lost dreams
We are the memories of shooting stars
Lost to these machines
We are the dancers on the graves
And all of the ashes that remain
We are the kings and queens of long lost hearts
And broken hopes and dreams
(We are! Ooh-ooh-ooh) Every shot that we take and heart that we break
Is walking in paradise (we are)
(We are! You and I)
We are the ones that got away (ones that got away)
We are the bright of a brand new day (bright of a brand new day)
We are the kings of dreams of mended hearts
And hopes and dreams
