[Verse 1:]
|
I remember roundĄŻ Autumn time
|
I smell the breeze. I feel the sun
|
Old memories come back to me
|
The way we used to dance
|
The way you clapped your hands
|
And I remember the smell of guns
|
War lived in me but love finally won
|
IĄŻve been delayed IĄŻve been denied
|
And then you came around and took the crown
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We were unbreakable
|
We were like Rock nĄŻ Roll
|
We were like a king and queen
|
I want you to know
|
No matter how the storyĄŻs told
|
We were like rock nĄŻ roll
|
We were like a king and queen
|
I want you to know
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I remember our time alone
|
Wanting to dance locked in your arms
|
Your melody stays haunting me
|
We were twenty one and thought we owned the sun
|
And I remember our plan to run
|
My rebel ways and your utter nonsense
|
WeĄŻd go insane but it felt so fun
|
And now your queen is home to take your throne
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We were unbreakable
|
We were like Rock nĄŻ Roll
|
We were like a king and queen
|
I want you to know
|
No matter how the storyĄŻs told
|
We were like rock nĄŻ roll
|
We were unbreakable
|
I want you to know
|
|
[Bridge:]
|

|

|

|
Kellindo help me sing it louder!
|
|
[Chant:]
|
So what are you gonna do? (I wanna be your rock nĄŻ roll)
|
Down in Mexico (you were just my rock nĄŻ roll)
|
Off in Paris, France (we taught poets how to dance)
|
Back to Tokyo (remember saki in Japan)
|
When Jamaica got way too cold (and your kisses warmed the sand)
|
And every time I think of you (I wanna be your rock nĄŻ roll)
|
So What are you gonna do? (so what are you gonna do?)
|
Cause I remember you (because I remember you)
|
|
