Paloma Faith Kings And Queens Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm remembering the day, I was just a girl
Thinking how cool this is, "My man is calling from jail!"
I know I was naïve, a fool in love
And looking back it was doomed to fail, life was too tough

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like a million years ago
(But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward)
Great season, stolen alcohol
We were so young
[Chorus]
We could have been kings and queens
We could have been anything
We could have gone far in the world, when I was your girl
Two diamonds from the gutter

We could have been kings and queens
We could have lived all our dreams
If I could have set you free, I would, believe me
But we didn't get it right this time

[Post–Chorus]
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

[Verse 2]
Come to your mama's house, I'd stay too late
I get in trouble and they're sending out the search party
I think you ended it, 'bout fourteen times
Just for the thrill of gettin' back together after the fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like a million years ago
(But I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward)
Great season, stolen alcohol
We were so young
[Chorus]
We could have been kings and queens We could have been anything
We could have gone far in the world, when I was your girl
Two diamonds from the gutter

We could have been kings and queens
We could have lived all our dreams
If I could have set you free, I would, believe me
But we didn't get it right this time

[Post–Chorus]
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)

[Bridge]
And I don't look back, 'cause I wanna go forward
But I hope you're well, got what you wanted
You still cross my mind, are you OK?
I pray you'll get it right next time

[Pre–Chorus]
So maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe in another life (life, life, life, life, life, life)
Maybe we'll be better next time (life, life, life, life, life, life)
[Chorus]
We could have been kings and queens
We could have been anything
We could have gone far in the world, when I was your girl
Two diamonds from the gutter

We could have been kings and queens
We could have lived all our dreams
If I could have set you free, I would, believe me
But we didn't get it right this time

[Outro]
Maybe in another life
