Shangri-La Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Going back, I'm not going back
The old house
We'll burn it to the ground

I dive in the deep and rapid river
The other side
Piece of never-neverland, land, land

[Verse 2]
Loneliness
No more loneliness
Just you and me and she is safe from harm
Supermoon lighting up the sky
All the swans spread their wings and fly
Again, again, again

[Chorus]
I didn't really know that I feel so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know I could feel so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
[Bridge]
Oh this night
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream, like a summer's dream
Like a summer's dream (Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)

[Chorus]
I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know how I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La
I didn't really know that I felt so old
Until I found my Shangri-La
And I didn't really know that I felt so cold
Until I found my Shangri-La

[Outro]
Always, always, always, always, always
Change
Always, always, always
Always (Didn't really know, didn't really know)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know, I didn't really know)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know I could feel so old)
Always (Didn't really know, didn't really really really know)
Always, always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
