James Bay - Stand Up Lyrics
We were kids
Lookin' out into nothin'
Lookin' for a way to get around the night
We were kids
Holdin' out for a dream
Or sit alone online
But I don't wanna wait
Sit the other side of these flood lights
Dreaming up a way to escape
Anyone around?
Give me mission control, give me a sound on the radio
Stand up and be counted
Before we slip away out here
Don't ever doubt it
And even if we're surrounded
Don't wanna slip away, slip away
Slip away (slip)
Slip away (slip)
We were Kings
We were Queens of an empire
We were made out on these sheets
We were all designed
So, if we're gonna break
If we're gonna tumble in a gunfight
Promise we'll be side by side
Say you'll be there when the school gets closed
Say you'll be there when the rest don't show
Stand up and be counted
Before we slip away out here
Before we slip away, slip away
Don't ever doubt it
And even if we're surrounded
Don't wanna slip away, slip away
High on hope and high on fear
We were heartbreak of the year
We were stackin' up to fall
We were summers in the street
We were sunlight through the trees
We were born for silver screens
We were whispers in the dark
We were sleeping under stars
Saying all of this is ours
We were rollercoaster screams
'Til our hearts burst at the seams
We're not gonna let it all [?]
Stand up and be counted
Before we slip away out here
Before we slip away, slip away
