Seinabo Sey – Pistols At Dawn lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hear the wind calling me to leave this place
Yet here we are standing 'round face to face
This burning sky witnessed the greatest of love
Now it waits patiently to draw from our blood
The time has come to show and prove or be one
With all you thought you knew, coming undone
Is that you reaching or you wanting to run
Stand down or show down, baby, let's get this done

[Chorus]
You looking at me
Me looking at you
We could've have it all
A world of our own
I never thought we could be
Pistols at dawn

[Verse 2]
I was the emperor and you owned the sun
Invincible, I can't believe what we've done
Surely we must be more than love on the run
Dancing in darkness to the sound of a drum
Can't help but wonder what you thought I would do
Lay down and play dead, boy, you know that ain't true
This is me reaching and you wanting to run
Stand down or show down, baby, let's get this done

[Chorus]
You looking at me
Me looking at you
We could've have it all
A world of our own
I never thought we could be
Pistols at dawn

[Bridge]
I'd rather die tonight
If I have to
Why would you ever think that
I'd take a bullet for you
I'd rather die tonight
If I have to
Why would you ever think that
I'd take a bullet for you

[Chorus]
You looking at me
Me looking at you
We could've have it all
A world of our own
I never thought we could be
Pistols at dawn
