Long Live Lyrics By Taylor Swift

    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 a 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
    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 some day
    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
    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
    and long long live that look on your face
    and bring on all the pretenders
    one day we will be remembered
