"Long Live" - Class Of 2015


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


How 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 pass 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 a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world


Long live the walls we crashed through


How 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


Will you take a moment, 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 someday


When they point to the pictures

Please tell them my name


Tell them how the crowds went wild 


Tell them 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


How 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 afraid


Singing, long live all the mountains we moved


I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you


And long, long live that look on your face


And bring on all the pretenders



One day, we will be remembered
