Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey
If you ever, you ever
How we doing over here?
[Verse 1]
I met you in a dream
I chased you through the street
Turned around and you were gone
I woke up in a daze
And moonlight on your face
My heart was racin' at the thought
[Chorus]
If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely
Yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencin' me to a life on my knees
Don’t know who I would be
If you ever
Leave me
If you ever
Leave me
[Verse 2]
I’m in too deep
Swimmin' in your sea
So tell me where you want to go
'Cause I don't wanna change
Have it any other way
Just promise that you'll stay this close
[Chorus]
If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely
Yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencin' me to a life on my knees
Don't know who I would be
If you ever
Leave me
If you ever
Leave me
Come on
[Verse 3]
Wakin' up with you gone in the mornin'
Goin' to sleep with you not here at night
Oh, these feelings they would just be so foreign
Can’t you stay for the rest of my life?
[Chorus]
If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely
Yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencin' me to a life on my knees
Don't know who I would be
If you ever
Leave me
If you ever
If you ever
Leave me
If you ever
If you ever
Leave me
If you ever
If you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever, oh-ah
[Verse 4]
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
[Chorus]
Acting on your best behaviour
And turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
Again
[Verse 5]
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Helps me to decide
Helps me make the
[Chorus]
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Bridge]
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumblin' down
When they do, I'll be right beside you
[Chorus]
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Chorus]
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
