Empires

Hold me closer, pull me closer
oh, feel the rhythm of my heart
Although I know every word
In the books I’ve read
I know nothing
I’m illiterate
In the language of love
Ohh
I don’t need empires
They’d mean nothing, nothing
If I can’t have you
Ohh
No empires
It’s a dark road to roam
If I should lose you
Nothing stays the same, I’ve learned my lesson well
If you wish too hard, it eludes you just the same
But my love is young, it’s young
It burns the edges of my heart
I’m dying for you
Ohh
No empires
Would mean nothing, nothing
If I can’t have you
Ohh
No empires
It’s a dark road to roam
If I should lose you
Do you wanna dance with me
I know it’s late, they wanna close up this place
But hold on tight to me, tight to me
I feel your touch burn through the waistline of my jeans
And your love is young
Is young
It burns the edges of my heart
I’m dying for you
Ohh
It’s a dark road to roam
If I should lose you
