We Were Kings for a Night

You remember that night…? Yeah… That was the last time we were still… us.

Streetlights flickered gold, On broken glass and rain We walked like we owned it… Like we’d never feel pain

Engines hummin’ low, Cigarettes in the dark Every laugh felt eternal… Every word left a mark

We didn’t know it then, Didn’t see the line Where the night turns to memory… And memory to time

We were kings for a night… Yeah, we held that crown No fear, no doubt, No lookin’ down

Felt like forever, Burned so bright But forever don’t last… When you’re kings for a night

I see it in flashes, Like a film gone wrong Where the smiles start breakin’… In the middle of a song

There was somethin’ in the silence, Between every cheer Like the world was waitin’… For it all to disappear

Somewhere in that moment, Somethin’ slipped away But we kept on drinkin’… Like it wouldn’t fade

We were kings for a night… Standin’ side by side No cracks, no lies, Nothin’ left to hide

Felt like forever, Under neon light But forever don’t last… When you’re kings for a night

If I could go back… I wouldn’t change a thing

…except stay.

We were kings for a night… And I still see it clear Every laugh, every line… Still echoes in here

Now it’s just shadows, Where we used to fight Just ghosts wearin’ crowns… From a king for a night

…rewind it one more time.
