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
