Lyrics

[00:02.67]
[00:15.08] I remember round Autumn time
[00:17.76]
[00:18.65] I smell the breeze I feel the sun
[00:21.38]
[00:22.26] Old memories come back to me
[00:24.92]
[00:25.79] The way we used to dance
[00:26.85]
[00:27.47] The way you clapped your hands
[00:28.54]
[00:29.66] And I remember the smell of guns
[00:32.15]
[00:33.28] War lived in me but love finally won
[00:36.16]
[00:36.96] I’ve been delayed I’ve been denied
[00:39.71]
[00:40.57] And then you came around and took the crown
[00:42.84]
[00:43.59] We were unbreakable
[00:45.16]
[00:47.40] We were like Rock n'Roll
[00:49.71]
[00:51.15] We were like a king and queen
[00:53.64]
[00:54.57] I want you to know
[00:55.58]
[00:58.32] No matter how the story's told
[01:00.32]
[01:02.00] We were like rock n' roll
[01:04.12]
[01:05.85] We were like a king and queen
[01:08.47]
[01:09.35] I want you to know
[01:10.42]
[01:12.28] I remember our time alone
[01:16.34]
[01:17.65] Wanting to dance locked in your arms
[01:20.40]
[01:21.26] Your melody stays haunting me
[01:23.90]
[01:25.01] We were twenty one and thought we owned the sun
[01:27.82]
[01:28.69] And I remember our plan to run
[01:31.43]
[01:32.50] My rebel ways and your utter nonsense
[01:35.30]
[01:35.87] We’d go insane but it felt so fun
[01:38.80]
[01:40.24] And now your queen is home to take your throne
[01:42.05]
[01:42.73] We were unbreakable
[01:44.23]
[01:45.35] We were like Rock n’ Roll
[01:49.10]
[01:50.35] We were like a king and queen
[01:52.84]

[04:04.70] Keep marching on we will love when the time is right
