We Were Kings

(album: Angels + Animals - 2014)

I keep a photograph of you up on the wall
The beach in winter on the island says it all
Oh, those days were gold
Oh, but we didn't know

We stole your fathers car, you didn't know how to drive
Touch down on the edge of town, we made it out alive
Oh, the setting sun
Oh, 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 earned
How could you forget we ruled the world

Four in the morning and I'm staring at the stars
The only light connecting me to where you are
Oh, where have you gone
Oh, I knew you wee 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 earned
How could you forget we ruled the world

And we danced all night
Holding on for our lives
And I bled out the time
Since you walked away
Why'd you walk away

Remember when 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 earned
How could you forget we ruled the world
