lyrics

BACK WHEN WE WERE KINGS words & music: thomson

I’VE GOT THINGS TO TELL YOU
FIND WAYS
TO MAKE YOU WARM
WHEN YOU ARE COLD,
YOUNG
WHEN YOU ARE OLD
AND GREY
I CAN’T LET IT BE
FUNNY HOW TIME
MARCHES ON

I’V GOT THINGS TO TELL YOU
I’VE GOT LOTS TO LET YOU KNOW
ABOUT BACK
WHEN WE WERE KINGS
WHEN WE WERE QUEENS
I REMEMBER YOU
HOW WE LAUGHED AND HOW WE CRIED
IN THE SUMMER OF OUR LIVES
WAY BACK
WHEN WE WERE KINGS
HEY HEY HEY HEY
WAY BACK
WHEN WE WERE KINGS

THE SUN WOULD ALWAYS SHINE,
WAKING UP INTO ANOTHER DAY
LITTLE CHILDREN . .
ALL COME OUT TO PLAY
THERE’S JUST YOU AND ME
YOUNG AND WILD
AND FREE

OUT IN THE BIG BAD WORLD
SITTING . .
WITH OUR HEADS
DOWN IN OUR HANDS
ALL OUR HOPES AND PLANS
ARE WASHED AWAY
THERES JUST
YOU AND ME
YOUNG AND WILD
AND FREE
