Empire of the Sun - We Are the People
We can remember swimming in December,
Heading for the city lights, in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than father
The scent of a lemon, drips from your eyes
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven
Got lost in your eyes
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)
Can you remember and humanize,
It was still where we’d energized,
Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
(repeat)
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)
