Taylor Swift’s Long Live became quite popular soon after its release. Read full lyrics below
Verse 1
- I said, remember this moment, in the back of my mind
- The time we stood with our shaking hands
- The crowds in stands went wild
- We were the kings and the queens
- And they read off our names
- The night you danced like you knew our lives
- Would never be the same
- You held your head like a hero
- On a history book page
- It was the end of a decade
- But the start of an age

Chorus
- Long live the walls we crashed through
- All the kingdom lights shined 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
Verse 2
- I said, remember this feeling
- I passed the pictures around
- Of all the years that we stood there
- On the side-lines wishing for right now
- We are the kings and the queens
- You traded your baseball cap for a crown
- When they gave us our trophies
- And we held them up for our town
- And the cynics were outraged
- Screaming, “This is absurd”
- ‘Cause for a moment, a band of thieves
- In ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Chorus
- Long live the walls we crashed through
- All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
- I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
- And bring on all the pretenders
- I’m not afraid
- Long live all the mountains we moved
- I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
- I was screaming, long live that look on your face
- And bring on all the pretenders
- One day, we will be remembered
Bridge
- Hold on to spinning around
- Confetti falls to the ground
- May these memories break our fall
- Will you take a moment?
- Promise me this
- That you’ll stand by me forever
- But if, God forbid, fate should step in
- And force us into a goodbye
- If you have children some day
- When they point to the pictures
- Please tell them my name
- Tell them how the crowds went wild
- Tell them how I hope they shine
- Long live the walls we crashed through
- I had the time of my life, with you
Chorus
- Long, long live the walls we crashed through
- All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
- I was screaming, long live all the magic we made
- And bring on all the pretenders
- I’m not afraid
- Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
- I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
- And long, long live that look on your face
- And bring on all the pretenders
- One day, we will be remembered
