Ellie Goulding - We Were Friends lyrics

Silently we were friends Guarding our country from traitors and new trends You were at the borders I am at the beaches Examining exactly what the enemy teaches Like presidents and pilots We turned a blind eye To letters over our heads Floating in the sky Those were the paper animals Signalling danger They are evolving And the world is a stranger No currency to drive us crazy No vehicles would drive us and make us lazy Ah ah to make us lazy Ah ah oh ah Only time I fall Is when I feel Only time they notice I disappear And I can't go back Without a counter attack And I can't turn around It's my mothers pride My mothers pride So I'm close to somewhere else But we're not going there We scan the forest floors Looking worse for wear For a life outside of ours 'Cause we are too shallow And too brave to hide our scars And step in ones shelter I am protective over you And the stories re-enact Getting word from the smallest of contact No currency to drive us crazy No vehicles to drive us and make us lazy oh oh oh oh ah ah Only time I fall Is when I feel Only time they notice I disappear When I see her When I see her When I see her everyday Wahoo oh oh (x2) Only time I fall Is when I feel Only time they notice I disappear And I see her When I see her When I see her everyday
