I'm haunted you I did We were the kings and the queens
I know, I know Because I love your handshake, And they read off our names
I just know meeting my father The night you danced like you knew
You're not gone I love how you walk with your our lives would never be the same
You held your head like a hero on a Tell them how the crowds went You imagined I would be
history book page wild I'm on my guard for the rest of the
It was the end of a decade Tell them how I hope they shine world, but with you
But the start of an age I know it's no good
Long live the walls we crashed Long live the walls we crashed And I could wait patiently
through through But I really wish you would
How the kingdom lights shined just I had the time of my life with you
for me and you Repeat Chorus
I was screaming long live all the Long long live the walls we crashed
magic we made through I'll run my fingers through your hair
And bring on all the pretenders How the kingdom lights shined just And watch the lights go wild
One day we will be remembered for me and you Just keep on keeping your eyes on
And I was screaming long live me
I said remember this feeling All the magic we made It's just wrong enough to make it
I pass the pictures around And bring on all the pretenders, I'm feel right
Of all the years that we stood there not afraid And lead me up the staircase
on the sidelines Singing long live all the mountains Won't you whisper soft and slow
Wishing for right now we moved I'm captivated by you baby like a
We are the kings and the queens I had the time of my life fighting fireworks show
You traded your baseball cap for a dragons with you
crown And long long live the look on your Repeat Chorus
When they gave us our trophies face Sparks fly, oh baby smile
And we held them up for our town And bring on all the pretenders And the sparks fly
And the cynics were outraged One day we will be remembered
Screaming this is absurd
Dear John
Cause for a moment a band of Sparks Fly
thieves in ripped up jeans got to
rule the world Long were the nights when my days
The way you move is like a full-on once revolved around you
rainstorm Counting my footsteps praying the
Long live the walls we crashed
And I'm a house of cards floor won't fall through again
through
You're the kind of reckless that And my mother accused me of
How the kingdom lights shined just
should losing my mind
for me and you
Send me running but But I swore I was fine
I was screaming long live all the
I kinda know that I won't get far
magic we made
And you stood there in front of me You paint me a blue sky and go
And bring on all the pretenders
Just close enough to touch back and turn it to rain
I'm not afraid
Close enough to hope you couldn't And I lived in your chess game
Long live all the mountains we
see what I was thinking of But you changed the rules everyday
moved
I had the time of my life fighting Wondering which version of you I
Chorus might get on the phone
dragons with you
Drop everything now Tonight
I was screaming long live that look
Meet me in the pouring rain Well I stopped picking up and this
on your face
Kiss me on the sidewalk song is to let you know why
And bring on all the pretenders
Take away the pain
One day we will be remembered
Cause I see sparks fly Dear John, I see it all now that
Whenever you smile you're gone
Hold on to spinning around
Get me with those green eyes baby Don't you think I was too young to
Confetti falls to the ground
As the lights go down be messed with
May these memories break our fall
Give me something that'll haunt me The girl in the dress cried the whole
when you're not around way home
Will you take a moment, promise
Cause I see sparks fly I should've known
me this
Whenever you smile
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in Well maybe it's me and my blind
My mind forgets to remind me optimism to blame
And force us into a goodbye
You're a bad idea Or maybe it's you and your sick
If you have children someday
You touch me once and it's really need to give love then take it away
When they point to the pictures
something And you'll add my name to your
Please tell them my name
You find I'm even better than long list of traitors who don't
understand Never Grow Up
And I'll look back and regret how I Take pictures in your mind of your
ignored when they said Your little hands wrapped around childhood room
Run as fast as you can my finger Memorize what is sounded like
And it's so quiet in the world what your dad gets home
Dear John, I see it all now that tonight Remember the footsteps,
you're gone Your little eyelids flutter cause remember the words said
Don't you think I was too young to you're dreaming And all your little brother's favorite
be messed with So I tuck you in and turn on your songs
The girl in the dress cried the whole favorite nightlight I just realized everything I had is
way home someday gonna be gone
Dear John, I see it all now it was To you, everything's funny
wrong You got nothing to regret So here I am in my new apartment
Don't you think 19's too young to I'd give all I have honey In a big city, they just dropped me
be played by If you could stay like that off
Your dark twisted games when I It's so much colder than I thought it
loved you so (Chorus:) would be

tests It could stay this simple Oh I don't wanna grow up
All the girls that you've run dry I won't let nobody hurt you Wish I'd never grown up
Have tired, lifeless eyes Wont let no one break your heart Could still be little
Cause you burned them out No one will desert you Oh I don't wanna grow up
But I took your matches before fire Just try to never grow up It could still be simple
could catch me Never grow up
So don't look now (Chorus:)
I'm shining like fireworks You're in the car on the way to the Oh darling don't you ever grow up,
Over your sad empty town movies don't you ever grow up
And you're mortified your mama's Just stay this little
Dear John, I see it all now that dropping you off Oh darling don't you ever grow up,

The girl in the dress wrote you a And don't lose the way that you
song dance around in your PJs getting
You should've known ready for schoo
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young
(Chorus:)
You should've known
Oh darling don't you ever grow up,

Nothing's ever left you scarred
Even though you want to, just try to
never grow up
