Kings Of John Payne

(album: Line In The Sand - 2013)

First 5 minutes go too fast
Hold that moment and make it last
'Cos nothing can buy back time
And lately I've been looking back on my life

All my friends, they always pulled through for me
And I know that they'd all say the same
So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most
Know after all these years, some things never change

Let's go

I can't remember exactly when it made me feel nostalgic
But the songs on my car stereo have started taking me
Way back in time when my friends and I had 20 notes between us
No one knew what the future held or where our lives would lead us

I never had a silver spoon, I was careful not to peak too soon
We've had a lot of ups and downs. I'm glad I stuck with you

'Cos all my friends, they always pulled through for me
And I know that they'd all say the same
So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most
Know after all these years, some things never change

I've never had friends like the ones I met when I was 12
I mean, hey, has anyone? I still remember all those years
And I go back to find that familiar sensation
With nothing but the limits of my own imagination

Let me be a face in the crowd 'cos I'm not ready for this to be over
Take me the long way around to the sound of the summer

With all my friends. They always pulled through for me
And I know that they'd all say the same
So if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most
Know after all these years, some things never change

It could be a while before we see each other again
It could be a while, we'll see each other again
And it'll be like it's always been, 'cos time and distance don't mean anything
We were the Kings of John Payne, I'll never forget it
And though we go our separate ways, I still think about those glory days
We were the renegades in the heat of the summer

Just 'cos I can't see it, doesn't mean it's gone
Time can't touch it, the feelings strong
But if this world ever takes your faith when you need it most
Know after all these years some things never change
