"Empires" lyrics

Hold me close, pull me closer
Oh, feel the rhythm of my heart
Although I know every word
In the books I've read
I know nothing, I'm illiterate
In the language of love

Ooh
I don't need empires
They'd mean nothing, nothing
If I can't have you
Ooh
No empires
It's a dark road to roam
If I should lose you

Nothing stays the same
I've learned my lesson well
If you wish too hard
It eludes you just the same

But my love is young, it's young
It burns the edges of my heart
I'm dying for ya

Ooh
No empires
Would mean nothing, nothing
If I can't have you
Ooh
No empires
It's a dark road to roam
If I should lose you

Do you wanna dance with me?
I know it's late, they wanna close up this place
But hold on tight to me, tight to me
I feel your touch burning
Through the waistline of my jeans

And your love is young, is young
It burns the edges of my heart
I'm dying for ya

It's a dark road to roam
If I should lose you
