Ellie Goulding - We Were Friends lyrics

Suddenly we were friends
Guarding our country from traitors
And new trends you are at the borders
I am at the beaches
Examining exactly what the enemy teaches
Like presidents and pilots
We turned our blind eye to letters over
Our heads floating in the sky
Thousands of paper animals signaling danger
They are evolving, and the world's a stranger

No currency to drive us crazy
No vehicles would drive us and make us lazy
To make us lazy
Only time my fall is when I fear
Only time may notice I disappear
And I can't go back without a counter attack
And I can't turn around
It's my mother's pride, my mother's pride

So close to somewhere else but
We're not going there
We scan the forest floors
Looking worse for wear
For life outside of ours
Because we are too shallow and too brave to
Hide our scars and step in one's shadow
I am protective over you and
The stories we enact
Gain what from the smallest of contact

No currency to drive us crazy
No vehicles to drive us and make us lazy, ooh
Only time I fall is when I fear
Only time may notice I disappear
And when I see her, when I see her
Oh, when I see her everyday

Only time my fall is when I fear
Only time may notice
I disappear, and I see her, when I see her
When I see her everyday
