lyrics

If I could be a King for a Day, what amazing things I'd do and say.
I would right a wrong from miles away, with one word I would call upon the day.
But instead I was a prince, a prince of thieves. And late one night I stole your dreams.
So that one day, perhaps when I was lonely, I could pull them out and say well there you are.
Cause we were young and we were strong, always bold and never cold. We made plans of things to do before we got old. And the heart that beat inside our chest it pumped the lungs that spent the breath that spoke those words of truth that I adored.
And I never had to worry about the sound of nothing inside my head driving me mad late at night as I lay in bed, instead of making big plans, of big things, I let it slip I said it – yeah I said it. I said;
Hold on, this life will be over before too long, and there's no need to cry about it.

And I apologise for my pessimistic side that let that comment slip that night as you lay in bed asleep. At least I thought you were asleep.
