We'll Be a Dream
We the Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember the nights
We stayed up just laughing
Smiling for hours
At anything
Remember the nights
We drove around crazy in love

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

Do you remember the nights
We made our way dreaming
Hoping of being
Someone big
We were so young then
We were too crazy in love

When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa

When the lights go out (and when the lights go out)
We'll be safe and sound (we'll be safe and sound)
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be (and we'll be)

When the lights go out (and when the lights go out)
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world




Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

[Verse 1]
Do you remember the nights we
Stayed up, just laughing
Smiling for hours at anything?
Remember the nights we
Drove around crazy in love?

[Chorus]
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream

Do you remember the nights we
Made our way dreaming
Hoping of being someone big?

We were too crazy in love

This song came out ten years ago when I was 20 now I’m 30 and it still feels the same. Music is the closest thing to a time capsule we have.
