We Were Kings

Remember when I was new in town?

I always walked straight with my head down

They didn't even try to figure me out

Until you came around

Everyone thought that I played ball

'Cause I was thirteen and six feet tall

Skippin' out class and writin' songs

You were there to sing along

We were kings

Before we had a crown, yeah, we had dreams

But, damn, look at us now

Even if we're so far away

Remember those days like yesterday

You're in all these memories

I haven't seen you since seventeen

But you know that don't change a thing

'Cause you still mean everything

Yeah, you still mean the world to me

Remember when they beat me down again

Just for the color of my skin?

But when I thought I'd fall apart

You were there to pick me up

Yeah, we were kings

Before we had a crown, yeah, we had dreams

But damn look at us now

Even if we're so far away

Remember those days like yesterday

You're in all these memories

I haven't seen you since seventeen

But you know that don't change a thing

'Cause you still mean everything

Yeah, you still mean the world to me

Na-na oh

Na-na oh

Na-na oh

Na-na oh

Even if we're so far away

Remember those days like yesterday

You're in all these memories

I haven't seen you since seventeen

But you know that don't change a thing

'Cause you still mean the world to me
