lyrics
Reaction
Clear the way
It’s time to go
It’s getting late
And the air is getting cold
We’re feeling low, from getting high
I’ll take you home
If you tell me where to go
Place a candle
Near the window
And we’ll be fine
(pre chorus)
And I wonder sometimes if you hear me
How I want to have you standing here
And I wonder if the day is nearing
When the walls that stand between us clear
(chorus)
Give my Kingdom, Give my Kingdom, Give my throne
Just for your distraction
You’re my attraction
Give my Kingdom, Give my Fiefdom, Give my land,
For your satisfaction
Or some reaction
Letting go
Set me free
Give me space
So I can let your breath
I take the blame
I broke the faith
You went away
Now I wish that you had stayed
(pre-chorus)
And I wonder sometimes if you hear me
How I want to have you standing here
And I wonder if the day is nearing (Oh My Lord)
When the walls that stand between us clear
(chorus)
Give my Kingdom, Give my Kingdom, Give my throne
Just for your distraction
You’re my attraction
Give my Kingdom, Give my Fiefdom, Give my land,
For you satisfaction
Or some reaction
(bridge)
Wasting time always wishing for a better life
With my eyes to the sky keep dreaming
So I tried and I reached for the other side
Cause it seemed that the grass was greener
You were here and it seemed like I had it right
Then I ran when it stopped being easy
Now I sit all alone when it’s late at night
I’d give my life just to hear you breathing
Give my Kingdom, Give my Kingdom, Give my throne
Just for your distraction
You’re my attraction
Give my Kingdom, Give my Fiefdom, Give my land,
For you satisfaction
Or some reaction (x2)
