lyrics

They caught me running from the queen
Been under her thumb far to long
Now I can breathe open air but my breath is a poor mans
Move over the ocean
Loosen these chains from my feet
Could I ever be a normal human being that’s fallen for someone?

Pre chorus
We’ve been kings since we made the crown
But the gold only weighs you down
Yes I wanted out of the exclusive club
Cause I fell in love

Chorus
I’ll never be your first in line
But I could never wait my turn anyway
Don’t want my Crown Jewels on display
It’s only part of my genetic resume

Verse2
Give up all the comforts
For a little taste of the unknown
Cause now you can’t eat all the fruit from the trees that your grandma has grown

Pre chorus

Bride
Beautiful lah lah love
This love will pull this kingdom apart
X5
(My royal etiquettes gone down the tube)

Chorus
