We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It beats the feeling to go
And I've got a feeling, so I
Can know
What really could have been
Much more than time well spent
I have a feeling that I can't let
This end
So
Let's make champagne rain down from the sky
And let's toast to the night
It's the time of our lives
Take me for a ride
And kiss me one more time
'Cause even if we fall we'll be okay
Grab hold of your heart
Let's spin the world from the light
So we stay here tonight
We stay here tonight
Spin the world from the light
Can we stay here tonight
Spin the world from the light
You've got a reason to stay
I've got the hand you can hold
I'm kind of feeling insane, so don't
Let go
And as the sun goes down
And all the dark's around
I get the feeling me can't run home
Not now
So
Let's make champagne rain down from the sky
And let's toast to the night
It's the time of our lives
Take me for a ride
And kiss me one more time
'Cause even if we fall we'll be okay
Grab hold of your heart
Let's spin the world from the light
So we stay here tonight
Can we stay here tonight
Spin the world from the light
Can we stay here tonight
Spin the world from the light
Don't wait
Everything's not okay
I am slipping away
Don't say goodbye
Kiss me
And let me know you love me
Underneath the moonlight
We'll look to the sky
Let's toast to the night
It's the time of our lives
Take me for a ride
And kiss me one more time
'Cause even if we fall we'll be okay
Grab hold of your heart
Let's spin the world from the light
So we stay here tonight
It's the time of our lives
Take me for a ride
And kiss me one more time
'Cause even if we fall we'll be okay
Grab hold of your heart
Let's spin the world from the light
So we stay here tonight
Can we stay here tonight
Spin the world from the light
Can we stay here tonight
Spin the world from the light

I've got a feeling to stay
I feel the desire to stay here
It beats the feeling to go
Wanting to stay is better than wanting to leave
And I've got a feeling, so I can know
I have a feeling that gives me insight
What really could have been
What could have happened
Much more than time well spent
Something beyond just passing time
I have a feeling that I can't let, this end
I don't want this feeling to go away
So, let's make champagne rain down from the sky
Let's celebrate in a grand way
And let's toast to the night
Let's raise a glass to this moment
It's the time of our lives
This is the best time we'll ever have
Take me for a ride
Take me on an adventure
And kiss me one more time
Give me one final kiss

Even if things go wrong, we'll be fine
Grab hold of your heart
Hold on to your emotions
Let's spin the world from the light
Let's look at everything in a positive light
So we stay here tonight
So that we don't have to leave just yet
You've got a reason to stay
You have a good reason to not leave
I've got the hand you can hold
I'll be there for you
I'm kind of feeling insane, so don't let go
I'm feeling crazy, but don't push me away
And as the sun goes down
As the day ends
And all the dark's around
When everything seems gloomy
I get the feeling me can't run home
Now, I feel like I can't go back
Not now
At least not yet
Don't wait
Act now
Everything's not okay
Something's wrong
I am slipping away
I'm losing grip
Don't say goodbye
Stay with me a little longer
Kiss me
Give me a kiss
And let me know you love me
Tell me you love me
Underneath the moonlight
In the romantic setting of moonlight
We'll look to the sky
We'll gaze at the stars above
Can we stay here tonight
Can we just stay together a bit longer?
Spin the world from the light
Let's try to see the good things in life
It's the time of our lives
The best time of our lives
Can we stay here tonight
Can we just stay a bit longer?
Spin the world from the light
Let's keep a positive outlook
