lyrics

You know he used to be king
A young man with the crown
Never knowing the feeling of being let down
The record told of a hero on the local scene
How quickly they have forgotten
How a hero is brave because he dreams
We can’t take back what now has been said

Wake up tonight and meet me I’m your distraction
I’ll be just like a ghost from former days
When the suns on the rise we will arrive at the mansion
Time is running down while we wait
So won’t you pray?

Take a little of my time, and I’ll turn you around
We are alone here, we are living, and we can’t be found
Do you need a distraction to save you now?
We are as old as we feel like, feel the joy that falls around you now
We can’t take back what now has been said
And if you could, then tell me when

Wake up tonight and meet me I’m your distraction
I’ll be just like a ghost from former days
When the suns on the rise we will arrive at the mansion
Time is running down while we wait

Wake up tonight and me your distraction
Kiss me like I’m the one that got away
When the suns on the rise we will arrive at the mansion
Time is running down while we wait
So won’t you pray?
