Cold as winter in the dead of july
that bitter chill don't just live in my mind
and I can see us taking over the world
I know loss I've looked pain in the eye
I've seen the demons that live in the night
but if I was king
if I was king of the world
all the tales
that have never been told
build up fires to keep away the cold
we'll sing songs
that will never get old
we'll be here forever
we'll rule the world together forever
with hearts of gold who needs any treasure?
we'll take our time just living our lives
our castle in the sky
if I was king of the world
I was a stranger
held my hand to my eyes
blindly walking on a street full of lies
but I found truth
buried deep inside of my bones
lonely nights shaking villains and thieves
so I keep fighting with my heart on my sleeve
but if I was king
if I was king of the world
all the tales
that have never been told
build up fires to keep away the cold
we'll sing songs
that will never get old
we'll be here forever
we'll rule the world together forever
with hearts of gold who needs any treasure?
we'll take our time just living our lives
our castle in the sky
if I was king of the world
then one day the leaves changed
and all that was once grey
it seemed to just fade away
I'm feeling so alive
in this castle in the sky
all the tales
that have never been told
build up fires to keep away the cold
we'll sing songs
that will never get old
we'll be here forever
we'll rule the world together forever
with hearts of gold who needs any treasure?
we'll take our time just living our lives
our castle in the sky
if I was king of the world
we'll rule the world together forever
with hearts of gold who needs any treasure?
we'll take our time just living our lives
our castle in the sky
if I was king of the world
