James Bay - Stand Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]We were kidsLookin' out into nothin'Lookin' for a way to get around the nightWe were kidsHoldin' out for a dreamWe were born to be wild and freeOr sit alone online[Pre-Chorus 1]But I don't wanna waitSit the other side of these flood lightsDreaming up a way to escapeAnyone around?Give me mission control, give me a sound on the radio[Chorus]Stand up and be countedBefore we slip away out hereBefore we slip away, slip awayDon't ever doubt itEven if we're surroundedDon't wanna slip away, slip away[Refrain]Slip away (slip)Slip away (slip)[Verse 2]We were KingsWe were Queens of an empireWe were made out on the streetsWe were all [?][Pre-Chorus 2]So, if we're gonna breakIf we're gonna tumble in a gunfightPromise we'll be side by sideSay you'll there when the school gets closedSay you'll be there when the rest don't show[Chorus]Stand up and be countedBefore we slip away out hereBefore we slip away, slip awayDon't ever doubt itEven if we're surroundedDon't wanna slip away, slip away[Bridge]High on hope and high on fearWe were heartbreak of the yearWe were stackin' up to fallWe were summers in the streetWe were sunlight through the treesWe were born for silver screensWe were whispers in the darkWe were sleeping under starsSay all of this is oursWe were rollercoaster screams'Til our hearts burst at the seamsWe're not gonna let it all [?][Outro]Stand up and be countedBefore we slip away out hereBefore we slip away, slip away
