We Were Kings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I keep a photograph of you up on my wall
The beach in the winter on the island says it all
Those days were gold
We didn't know
We stole your father's car
You didn't know how to drive
Touch down on the edge of town
We made it out alive
The settings on
I knew you were the one for me
And we sang a song for all our dreams
We were young and lost when we were kings
I will never regret the scars we've earned
How could you forget we ruled the world
Four in the morning and I'm staring at the stars
The only lights connecting me to where you are
Where have you gone?
I knew you were the one for me
And we sang a song for all our dreams
We were young and lost when we were kings
I will never regret the scars we've earned
How could you forget we ruled the world
And we danced all the night
Holding on for our lives
And I bled out the time
Since you walked away, why'd you walk away?
Wish we were, wish we were
When we were, when we were
Remember when we were kings? We were kings
And we sang a song for all our dreams
We were young and lost when we were kings
I will never regret the scars we've earned
How could you forget we ruled the world
