Lion Lyrics

We had never seen the world at night

Hand in hand we screamed at the starlight

Our hearts too young to even smile

We'd sweat away our fears for a while

We had never seen this world before

Running around but not moving forward

We'd fall down on the broken floor

Our screams as loud as a lion's roar

We'd sit around and sing together

Sit around the summer weather

And play the songs we dreamed that we could write

We would forget the songs we'd sung

But you could tell by the way we'd sing them

That we would laugh at the things we'd done

Our smiles as bright as the rising sun

But days passed by and the summer ends

I don't want to say goodbye, my best friend

But February's gone and the nights set in

And we will never see this world again

Hiding from the promises I kept but she won't know

Running from the way we felt

I never want to go home

We'd rest out heads in silly places

Backs turned against our sunburnt faces

We lay there silently
