Lyrics: (Long Live) I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind When we stood with our shaking hands, crowds in stands went wild *cheering* We were the kings and the queens, and they read off our names It was the end of an Era, but the start of an age You held your head like a hero, on a history book page And I was screaming long live, the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shine 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 (New Years Day) There's glitter on the floor after the party, girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby Candle wax and polaroid's on the hardwood floor, you and me from the night before But, don't read the last page, but I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you're turning away I want your midnights, but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day (The Manuscript) And the years pass, like scenes of a show The Professor, said to write what you know lookin' backwards Might be only way to move forward. And the actors were hitting their marks and the slow dance Was alight with the sparks and the tears fell In synchronicity with the score And at last, she knew what the agony had been for. (Long Live) So, hold on to spinning around, confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall Please, don't ever become a stranger who's laugh I could recognize anywhere Please, don't ever become a stranger who's laugh I could recognize anywhere (New Years Day) And hold on to the memories they will hold onto you Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you, (Long Live) And long live, the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shine, for me and you. And long, long live All the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders, cause one day, We will be remembered (The Manuscript) The only thing that's left is the manuscript one last souvenir from my trip to your shores Now and then, I reread the manuscript But the story isn't mine anymore. *piano outro*
Lyrics:
(Long Live)
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind
When we stood with our shaking hands, crowds in stands went wild
*cheering*
We were the kings and the queens, and they read off our names
It was the end of an Era, but the start of an age
You held your head like a hero, on a history book page
And I was screaming long live, the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shine 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
(New Years Day)
There's glitter on the floor after the party, girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and polaroid's on the hardwood floor, you and me from the night before
But, don't read the last page, but I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you're turning away
I want your midnights, but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day
(The Manuscript)
And the years pass, like scenes of a show
The Professor, said to write what you know lookin' backwards
Might be only way to move forward.
And the actors were hitting their marks and the slow dance
Was alight with the sparks and the tears fell
In synchronicity with the score
And at last, she knew what the agony had been for.
(Long Live)
So, hold on to spinning around, confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Please, don't ever become a stranger who's laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please, don't ever become a stranger who's laugh I could recognize anywhere
(New Years Day)
And hold on to the memories they will hold onto you
Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you
Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you,
(Long Live)
And long live, the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shine, for me and you.
And long, long live
All the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, cause one day,
We will be remembered
(The Manuscript)
The only thing that's left is the manuscript
one last souvenir from my trip to your shores
Now and then, I reread the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore.
*piano outro*
I was literally SOBBING watching this on the livestream
