Lyrics: Drake Livingston Jr.
Music: Drake Livingston Jr.
When we were fourteen we went to the movies
I looked at the screen, told you that could be you and me
The girls looking past you, the boys looking through me
They've got no idea that we're gonna be
Breaking down the walls and running for the hills
We'll be superstars just burning dollar bills
I did everything I told you that I would one day
This is all that we ever wanted
But the look on your face says
Take me back to what we found
Before we burn our castlΠ΅ down
King and queen, we ran this town
When all we had to givΠ΅ were paper crowns
Crowns, crowns
Paper crowns
Dropped out of class and I moved to the city
I'll make just enough to afford you a wedding ring
I said "I'll be back and I'm taking you with me"
Just you wait, we're as young as we'll ever be
Breaking down the walls and running for the hills
We'll be superstars just burning dollar bills
I did everything I told you that I would one day
This is all that we ever wanted
But the look on your face says
Take me back to what we found
Before we burn our castle down
King and queen, we ran this town
When all we had to give were paper crowns
Crowns, crowns
Paper crowns
All I wanted was to give you the world
I lost myself in the lights
All I wanted was to give you the world
I wanna turn back the time and just
Take me back to what we found
Before we burn our castle down
King and queen, we ran this town
When all we had to give were paper crowns
Crowns, crowns
Paper crowns
