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
All 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
One day, we will be remembered
I said, "Remember this feeling?"
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now.
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!"
'Cuz for a moment a band of thieves in ripped-up jeans
Got to rule the world.
Long live
The walls we crashed through
All 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'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 the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall.
Can you take a moment;
Promise me this:
That you'll stand by me forever,
But if, God forbid, fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
Long live
The walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you.
Long live
The walls we crashed through
All 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'm not afraid
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
One day
We will be remembered.
