I was sent this a few months ago, and at this point, I don’t even remember which friend it came from.. That said, it’s stuck around on my playlists, and now I’m hooked on the gentle nostalgia of this track.. It’s strangely euphoric, despite the twisted melancholy overtones of the song. Here’s to something different..

Empire of the Sun – “We Are The People” Lyrics

We can remember swimming in December,
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than farther
The scent of lemon, drips from your eyes
We are the people who rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
We lived an adventure
Love in Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven
Got lost in your eyes
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
Can you remember and humanize,
It was still where we’d energized,
Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

I know everything about you
Know everything about me
Know everything about us x2

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now x2


I thought this was a parody of the real album cover upon first sight.. I was wrong. This is the real cover.
