《Castle on the Hill》
Chorus:
I'm just a boy from England
A boy who grew up in the 90s
Trying to make sense of it all
And wondering where I'll be in a decade
Verse 1:
Living in a world of fades and rewinds
Memories of golden days and golden nights
Wondering where my life is headed
But I know one thing, I'm on my way
Chorus:
I'm just a boy from England
But I'm on my way to becoming
A man who's built a castle
On the hill, on the hill
Bridge:
And now I'm standing here in the sun
Looking back at where I've been
I've been down, I've been high, I've been through it all
But now I'm living the dream
Verse 2:
Sometimes you fall and sometimes you stumble
But you keep moving forward, you keep your head up high
And when the world starts to crumble
You'll be alright, because you're strong enough
Chorus:
I'm just a boy from England
But I'm here in the place that I've always dreamed of
Building a castle on the hill, on the hill
I'm finally here, I'm finally home
《Holocene》
Verse 1:
Standing still under a cloudless sky
Watching everything burn to the ground tonight
But you keep moving, keep moving on
You keep moving, keep moving on
Chorus:
Holocene, this is your song
You're here, you're free, you're beautiful and strong
Holocene, this is your song
You're here, you're free, you're beautiful and strong
Forever young, forever young
Verse 2:
Looking back at all the pain and struggle
Trying to make sense of it all in the end
But you keep moving, keep moving on
You keep moving, keep moving on
You keep moving, keep moving on
You keep moving, keep moving on
You keep moving, keep moving on, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
(Chorus) 3x
Forever young, forever young (x2)
Forever young forever young (x2)
Yeah!
Yeah!
