Take these promises and walk to the beaten shore A strangers handshake as cold as the sea below When I was given more than I could afford I ran away I ran away
And I once was king of the world But now live inside of a whale And I once was king of the world
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
And I once was king of the world But now live inside of a whale And I thought I ran the world And I’m lost without you
So wan we erase the future Just let it swim overboard If I was to die tomorrow To live with more than I need You’re coming with me
And I once was king of the world But now live inside of a whale And I thought I ran the world And I’m lost without you
