Tale of Jonah Lyrics by New Empire

In a Breath

0

[Verse 1]
Take these promises and walk to the beaten shore
A stranger's handshake, as cold as the sea below
When I was given more than I could afford
I ran away, I ran away
[Chorus]
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I once was king of the world
[Verse 2]
Raging waters, they will come when we least will know
A sleeping giant awakes as I look ashore
Can we erase the future, just let it swim overboard?
'Cause I ran away, I ran away
[Chorus]
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I thought I ran the world
But I'm lost without you, hey
[Bridge]
So can we erase the future and let it swim overboard?
If I was to die tomorrow, to live with more than I need
You're coming with me
[Chorus]
And I once was king of the world
But now live inside of a whale
And I thought I ran the world
But I'm lost without you
