Close Your Eyes Kings Of John Payne (acoustic)
First 5 minutes
go too fast,
hold that moment
and make it last.
'cos nothing
can buy back time
and lately I've been
looking back on my life
All my friends,
they always pulled through for me,
and I know
that they'd all say the same.
So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most,
know after all these years,
some things never change.
(Let's go)
I can't remember exactly
when it made me feel nostalgic,
but the songs on my car stereo.
Have started taking me way
back in time.
When my friends and I had 20 notes between us
No one knew what the future held or where our lives would lead us.
I never had a silver spoon,
I was careful not to peak too soon.
We've had a lot of up's and downs.
I'm glad I stuck with you.
Cos all my friends,
they always pulled through for me,
and I know
that they'd all say the same.
So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most,
know after all these years,
some things never change.
I've never had friends
like the ones I met when I was 12.
I mean, hey,
has anyone?
I still remember all those
years and I go back to find that familiar sensation
with nothing
but the limits of my own imagination.
Let me be a face in the crowd
'cos I'm not ready for this to be over.
Take me the long way around
to the sound of the summer
With all my friends,
they always pulled through for me,
and I know
that they'd all say the same.
So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most,
know after all these years,
some things never change.
It could be a while
before we see each other again.
It could be a while,
we'll see each other again.
And it'll be like it's always been,
'cos time and distance don't mean anything.
We were the Kings of John Payne,
I'll never forget it.
And though we go our separate ways,
I still think about those glory days.
We were the renegades
in the heat of the summer
Just 'cos I can't see it
doesn't mean it's gone
Time can't touch it,
the feelings strong
But if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most,
know after all these years
some things never change
