If You Leave Me / Everybody Wants To Rule The World (Live From Electric Picnic) Songtext
(If you ever)
(Yeah, yeah)
Met you in a dream
Chase you through the street
Turned around and you were gone
Woke up in a daze
Moonlight on your face
My heart was racin' at the thought
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 sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be
If you ever leave
If you ever leave
I'm in too deep
Swimmin' in your sеa
Tell me wherе you want to go
I don't wanna change
Have it any other way
Promise that you'll stay this close
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 sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be
If you ever leave
If you ever leave
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?
If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
And if you leave me (And if you leave me)
Hope you know that you're sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be (Don't know who I would be)
And if you ever leave (If you ever)
Yeah, if you ever leave (If you ever)
Yeah, if you ever leave (If you ever)
If you ever, you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever, you ever (oh!)
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
(Yeah, yeah)
Met you in a dream
Chase you through the street
Turned around and you were gone
Woke up in a daze
Moonlight on your face
My heart was racin' at the thought
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 sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be
If you ever leave
If you ever leave
I'm in too deep
Swimmin' in your sеa
Tell me wherе you want to go
I don't wanna change
Have it any other way
Promise that you'll stay this close
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 sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be
If you ever leave
If you ever leave
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?
If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
And if you leave me (And if you leave me)
Hope you know that you're sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don't know who I would be (Don't know who I would be)
And if you ever leave (If you ever)
Yeah, if you ever leave (If you ever)
Yeah, if you ever leave (If you ever)
If you ever, you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever, you ever (oh!)
Welcome to your life
