Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
We can remember swimming in December
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other, nearer than farther
The scent of a lemon drips from your eyes
[Chorus]
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try
[Verse 2]
We lived an adventure, love in the summer
Followed the sun 'til night, reminiscing other times of life
For each every other the feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven, we got lost in your eyes
[Hook]
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?
[Verse 3]
Can you remember and humanize
It was still where we'd energize
Lie in the sand and visualize like it's '75 again
[Chorus]
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now, we can try
[Hook]
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?
[Bridge]
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
[Hook]
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?
I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me
But I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now?
Can't you be believing now?

[@crisraquelbrazil]

This is one of those songs where lyrics and rhythm just perfectly sync together. It should be the Planet's anthem.

Its insane how good this song sounds live.

[@Hnchmchl85]

I kind of like it, so I'm not totally disappointed. It's better than other songs that I've heard, and it sounds cool live. It's alright.

[@zoneonemusic]

I was thinking the same thing. I regret not seeing these guys live.

[@BirdDogey1]

Is it really live? Think lots of tracks rollin.

I'm 38 and find this very good. I'm not restricted to my own generation in determining good music. I've liked Frank Sinatra on down to Twenty One Pilots. ^5

[@properplank6729]

@Under the Surface also the fact that he barely sings the hook, instead letting his voice do backup for the recording. I love this band regardless though.
