Long Live Lyrics

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowd in stands went wildWe 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 sameYou held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an ageLong live the walls we crashed through
While 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 rememberedI said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right nowWe 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 townAnd the cynics were outraged
Screaming, this is absurd
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped-up jeans got to rule the worldLong live the walls we crashed through
While 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 afraidLong 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 rememberedHold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break or fallAnd you take a moment
Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbids that fate should step inAnd force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my nameTell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shineLong live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with youLong, long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraidSinging, 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
