Lyrics

I Was King

We said tonight
No going back
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
Nothing seems right
Stuck in the past
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)

When am I, when am I
Gonna start living? (Whoa)
When am I, when am I gonna move on? (Whoa-whoa)
When am I, when am I gonna kill this feeling? (Whoa)
When am I, when am I gonna stop this dreaming?

When I was king
I was king
We had everything
When am I, when am I gonna start living?
When I was king
I was king
We had everything
When am I, when am I gonna start living?

Don't wanna go
I'm holding on tight
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh)
Something to live for make it our nights
(Shut down the sirens in our heads)

When I was king
I was king
We had everything
When am I, when am I gonna start living?
When I was king
I was king
We had everything
When am I, when am I, gonna start living?

Yeah, I was king
I was king
I was king
I was king

If I go down, I will go down fighting
I'll go down, down like lightning
If I go down, I will go down fighting
I'll go down, down like lightning
If I go down, I will go down fighting
I'll go down, down like lightning
I was king

When am I, when am I gonna start living? (Whoa)
When am I, when am I gonna move on? (Whoa-whoa)
When am I, when am I gonna kill this feeling? (Whoa)
When am I, when am I gonna stop this dreaming?

When I was king
I was king
When I was king

When I was king
I was king
We had everything
When am I, when am I gonna start living?
Yeah, I was king
