When We Kiss Lyrics by Olly Alexander
[Verse 1]
Hold onto me
There's something here worth saving
Hold onto me
There’s a tidal wave pullin' us apart (Pullin' us apart)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Right n—, right n—) Right next to me
I hear it in your voice
Lie next to me
We can make a choice, change our destiny (When we kiss)
[Chorus]
The power’s in your hands
I just don't understand
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
How can we justify
The love we left behind?
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
[Verse 2]
Ooh, I can't tell if this is ending or beginning
Ooh, and I'll do anything to keep the embers burning
Ooh, how do we come so far from who we used to be?
[Pre-Chorus]
So lie next to me (Lie next to me)
We can make a choice, change our destiny (When we kiss)
[Chorus]
The power's in your hands
I just don't understand
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
How can we justify
The love we left behind?
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss (Yeah)
[Bridge]
Did we fall into the sun? (The sun)
Was the passion all it was? (Was)
Can you make someone the one?
The one? (The one)
Lie next to me (Go, lie next to me)
I hear it in your voice (Voice)
Lie next to me (Next to me)
We can make a choice (Yes), change our destiny
(Tears in your eyes when we kiss) Ooh
(Tears in your eyes when we kiss) Ooh-woah, was
Nah-nah (Tears in your eyes when we kiss)
(Tears in your eyes) When we kiss (Ooh)
[Chorus]
The power's in your hands
I just don't understand
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
How can we justify (Justify)
The love we left behind?
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
