Long Live - Live/2011

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 that 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!"

'Cause for one 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 that 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

(We have absoloutly loved spending time in your town)

(And you have been so amazing to us, I mean)

(You guys know every single word)

(And you've danced this entire night)

(And it means the word to me)

(And every single person you see on stage)

(Thank you)

Can we take a moment

And 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 'em my name

Tell 'em how the crowds went wild

Tell 'em how I hope they shine

Long live

The walls we crashed through

I had the time of my life with you

Long, 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

Long, long live that look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders

One day

We will be remembered
