Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Champagne from a fast food restaurant

Paper cup

Candle conversations in a

Power cut

Sometimes broken plans can end up

Better than when they're not

Breaking up

So I won’t settle down

No I won’t settle down

For a while

[PreChorus]

And it feels like

It's been a long time coming

[Chorus]

I’m a light-head dreamer

I am a little bit yesterday

I’m a nice try

I’m a little bit broken

I’m a last chance flying high

I'm a patched up champion

Of the world

Feeling like a king

But I’m still broken

Yeah, I'm still broken

[Verse 2]

Headlights shine like diamonds in the

Pouring rain

Wrapped around the city making

Silver chains

Sometimes things look better

When you're looking from

Far away

Oh yeah

[PreChorus]

And it feels like

It's been a long time coming

[Chorus]

I'm a light headed dreamer

I am a little bit yesterday

I'm a nice try

I'm a little bit broken

I'm a last chance flying high

I'm a patched up champion

Of the world

Feeling like a king

But I'm still broken

Yeah, I'm still broken

Yeah, I'm still broken

[Outro]

I'm a patched up champion of the world

I'm a light headed dreamer

I am a little bit yesterday

I’m a champion of the world

I’m a champion of the world

I'm a champion of the world

I'm a champion of the world
