I said remember this
moment
:
'In the back of my mind'
The time we stood with our
shaking hands
:
'The crowds in stands went wild'
We were the
kings and the queens
:
'And they read off our names'
The
night
you
danced
like you knew our lives: 'Would never be the same'
You held your
head
like a hero:
'On a history book page'
It was the end of a
decade
:
'But the start of an age'
Long live the walls we crashed through:
'How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you'
I was
screaming
, "Long live all the
magic
we made": 'And bring on all the pretenders'
I said remember this feeling:
'I passed the pictures around'
We are the kings and the
queens
: 'You traded your
baseball cap
for a crown'
When they gave us our
trophies
: 'And we held them up for our
town'
And the cynics were outraged:
'Screaming
, "
This is absurd
"'
For a moment, a band of
thieves
: 'In
ripped up jeans
got to rule the world'
I was
screaming
, "Long live all the
magic
we made": 'And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid'
Long live all the
mountains
we moved:
'I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you'
I was
screaming
, "Long live that look on your face": 'And bring on all the
pretenders'
Hold on to spinning around:
'Confetti
falls to the
ground'
May these memories break our fall:
'Will you take a moment?'
Promise me this:
'That you'll stand by me forever'
If you have children someday:
'When they point to the pictures'
Please tell them my name:
'Tell them how the crowds went wild'
Long live the
walls
we
crashed through
: 'I had the time of my life with you'
Long, long live the walls we crashed through:
'How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you'
Singing long live all the
mountains
we moved:
'I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you'
And long, long live the look on
your face
:
'And bring on all the pretenders'
