lyrics

Kings of us all
I hear you standing on the world
as I am looking for a way out.
My dreams are taking my life away
and I am losing all my time on sweet visions.

And it’s true you are the only one I want.
And I’m trying hard to be like you
‘cause you are the only one I want.

My envy of you is tearing me apart,
Turn it off, turn it off.
All I want is to be you, perfect from the start
Turn it on, turn it on.

I follow you, paralyzed by
each and every move you make, a sight I’m glad I saw.
We’re not so different, but I still fear if I will ever make it as far as you have.

And I’m pleading my case that in some way I still belong.
And I’m trying, always trying
to prove a chance is never gone.

All of you, all of you, all of you, I want all of you.

Worthy enemy, golden enemy,
How do you do all that you do?
(I see it all through my eyes)
Always the favorite, always the favorite,
The race is your life and it is my life.

It’s true you are the only one I want.
