Empire & the Sun Lyrics by The Moth & The Flame

Young & Unafraid

2016

[Into]
(I could never love someone who could love someone like me) x 4
[Verse 1]
These walls don't run from anything
These walls don't run from anything
They stand
Still
[Chorus]
‘Cause you're the empire and the sun
And you're the voice that calls me home
And you're the place that makes me wanna stay
But you're the walls I cannot climb
You, you
[Verse 2]
I'm a house on fire, and everyone is leaving
I'm a house on fire, and everyone is leaving
Me
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the empire and the sun
And you're the voice that calls me home
And you're the place that makes me wanna stay
But you're the walls I cannot climb
You, you
[Bridge]
I could never love someone who could love someone like me
I could never love someone who could love someone like me
I could never love someone who could love someone like me
I could never love someone who could love someone like me
I could never love someone who could love someone like me
Someone like me
Like me
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the empire and the sun
And you're the voice that calls me home
And you're the place that makes me wanna stay
But you're the walls I cannot climb
You, you, you, you, you, you
[Outro]
(I could never love someone who could love someone like me) x8
Anyone falls, anyone falls they ran away
