We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willin', we came when you called
But when you fooled us, enough is enough, oh
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Sticks and stones, they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready?
It's the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
Are you ready? I'll be ready
'Cause now it's time to let them know
We are ready, what about us?
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
So what about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us...

The Vamps

The Vamps are a British band consisting of members Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball, and Tristan Evans.

The group was formed when solo artist James McVey wanted to start a band. He found Brad Simpson through an Ed Sheeran cover he posted on YouTube and messaged him on Facebook. They found drummer Tristan Evans through Facebook, and bassist Connor Ball through mutual friends.

Their appropriately named debut Meet The Vamps was released in the UK in April 2014. An alternate version was released in the US the following November, with the difference being added features by Demi Lovato and Shawn Mendes on “Somebody To You” and “Oh Cecilia,” respectively. Both of these tracks, in addition to “Can We Dance” and “Last Night,” were released as singles.
