We can remember swimming in December Heading for the city lights in 1975 We share in each other Nearer than farther 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
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
Can you remember and humanize It was still where we'd energized Lie in the sand and visualize like it's 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 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
I know everything about you Know everything about me Know everything about us
I know everything about you Know everything about me Know everything about us
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 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 repeats and fades
