Long Live
Taylor Swift⥮ Lyrics

I said remember this moment
Let's not forget this moment, let's etch it in our memories.

In the back of my mind
I'll always have this in my thoughts.

The time we stood with our shaking hands
We shared an anxious moment.

The crowds in stands went wild
People went berserk when they saw us.

We were the kings and the queens
We were in charge. We ruled the situation.

And they read off our names
We were recognized. We got our deserving credit.

The night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same
You danced with fervor, fully aware that it would be a milestone moment.

You held your head like a hero
You had an aura of valor and nobility.

On a history book page
You looked like somebody straight out of history textbooks.

It was the end of a decade
It was the conclusion of ten years.

But the start of an age
It marked the beginning of a new era.

Long live the walls we crashed through
Let's celebrate the barriers we broke down.

All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
We were the center of attention.

I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
I wanted to preserve the enchantment we created.

And bring on all the pretenders
Let the imposters come, we're not scared.

One day we will be remembered
Someday people will recall this unforgettable moment.

I said remember this feeling
I wanted to preserve this sensation too.

I passed the pictures around
I shared the visuals with others.

Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Of all the times we had to wait for our turn.

Wishing for right now
Desiring to have this exact moment.

You traded your baseball cap for a crown
You rose to power, traded a common item for a symbol of royalty.

When they gave us our trophies
We got what we deserved.

And we held them up for our town
We exhibited our accolades to the community.

And the cynics were outraged
The skeptics were dismayed.

Screaming, "this is absurd"
They yelled that it's illogical and nonsensical.

'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world
For a fleeting moment, we, a group of unconventional people, dominated the world.

Long live all the mountains we moved
Let's commend all the obstacles we surpassed.

I had the time of my life
I had the most amazing experience.

Fighting dragons with you
We fought and overcame enormous foes.

And long, long live the look on your face
Let's cherish the expression on your face.

Hold on to spinning around
Remember to hold on to the whirlwind the moment created.

Confetti falls to the ground
The celebration produced a joyful mess.

May these memories break our fall
If we stumble along the way, let's use these memories to break our fall.

Can you take a moment
May I have a minute?

Promise me this:
Assure me of this.

That you'll stand by me forever
That you'll never abandon me.

But if God forbid fate should step in
But if an unfavorable situation arises.

And force us into a goodbye
And we have to part ways.

If you have children someday
If you have offspring in the future.

When they point to the pictures
When they ask about the images.

Please tell them my name
Please let them know who I am.

Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them about the time the masses went crazy about us.

Tell them how I hope they shine
Tell them that I hope they become magnificent beings.

And bring on all the pretenders
Again, let the imposters come.

Singing long live all the mountains we moved
Again, cheers to all the obstacles we surpassed.

And long, long live the look on your face
Again, let's cherish that expression on your face.

One day, we will be remembered
Again, someday, people will recall this unforgettable moment.
