In a blaze of youth and new desires, a thousand oceans couldn't quench the fire,
You felt that night, you knew just as well as I,
As soon as the academy closed, it'd be black screens and vintage clothes,
The stars, our canvas darling, we lived a lifetime in every heartbeat.
When we were the kings (we were, we were), when we owned the streets (we were, we were),
Back in our little infinity, when we were the kings.
Well, scars look better on saints and sages, but love looks better on tattered pages,
Child, pay no mind, graffiti turns to art with time,
As soon the academy cosed, it'd be white sheets and velvet thrones,
The stars, our da vinci darling, composing mona lisas in the light of car beams.
When we were the kings (we were, we were), when we owned the streets (we were, we were),
Back in our little infinity, when we were the kings.
I'll never forget the way it began, warning sings and cigarettes,
The world was our kingdom, time was the bet,
Can you feel my heartbeat? You feel my heartbeat,
I'll never forget what you said, you said hold me in, pull your breath,
In this moment we are permanent,
And you can always find me, you will always find me.
I'll never forget the way it began, warning sings and cigarettes,
The world was our kingdom, time was the bet,
Can you feel my heartbeat? You feel my heartbeat,
I'll never forget what you said, you said hold me in, pull your breath,
In this moment we are permanent,
And you can always find me, you will always find me.
When we were the kings, when we owned the streets,
Back in our little infnity,
Yeah, we're still the kings (we were, we were), yeah, we still own the streets (we were, we were),
Back in our little infinity, when we were the kings.
We were the kings
We were, we were the kings
