We Were Kings

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
