Lyrics

I said, "Remember this moment"In the back of my mindThe time we stood with our shaking handsThe crowds in stands went wildWe were the kings and the queensAnd they read off our namesThe night you danced like you knew our livesWould never be the sameYou held your head like a heroOn a history book pageIt was the end of a decadeBut the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed throughHow the kingdom lights shined just for me and youI was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"And bring on all the pretendersOne day, we will be remembered

I said, "Remember this feeling"I pass the pictures aroundOf all the years that we stood there on the sidelinesWishing for right nowWe are the kings and the queensYou traded your baseball cap for a crownWhen they gave us our trophiesAnd we held them up for our townAnd the cynics were outragedScreaming, "This is absurd"'Cause for a moment, a band of thievesIn ripped up jeans got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed throughHow the kingdom lights shined just for me and youI was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraidLong live all the mountains we movedI had the time of my life fighting dragons with youI was screaming, "Long live that look on your face"And bring on all the pretendersOne day, we will be remembered

Hold on to spinning aroundConfetti falls to the groundMay these memories break our fallWill you take a moment? Promise me thisThat you'll stand by me foreverBut if, God forbid, fate should step inAnd force us into a goodbyeIf you have children some dayWhen they point to the picturesPlease, tell 'em my nameTell 'em how the crowds went wildTell 'em how I hope they shineLong live the walls we crashed throughI had the time of my life with you

Long, long live the walls we crashed throughHow the kingdom lights shined just for me and youAnd 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 youAnd long, long live that look on your faceAnd bring on all the pretendersOne day, we will be remembered
