We were kings and we didn't know it Video (MV)

Jumping off a bridge we had no second thought,
Smoking tires and laughing high school parking lot,
We felt invincible, somehow immune,
Speakers thumping loud with our new favorite tune.
Giving handmade tapes to girls with a scribbled note,
Then hiding that reply away in a denim coat,
Legends of our time and sometimes tales get told
But we're sitting at the pub now when the nights get cold
We were kings and we didn't know it
Wild and free living in the moment
Every Friday night we had a fire going
Drinking beer with friends around and embers glowin'
Our hearts were on our sleeves, and we did stupid stunts,
Stayed out late no clocks to watch till we burned out
The world was big and things were always cool as hell
We pushed it all the time until the parents yelled
Neon lights on 80s nights oh man I miss 'em,
Chilling with my closest friends I can't replace them
We snuck a joint so many times in rock shows
Sneaking past the cops to make it front row.
We were kings and we didn't know it
Wild and free living in the moment
Every Friday night we had a fire going
Drinking beer with friends around and embers glowin'
Now and then, I remember it so clear,
Those fearless nights and all those friends that we held dear,
I didn't know how rich I was with friends so bold,
Moments I will never sell or trade for gold
Skipping stones rolling bones and skinned-up knees,
Ripped-up jeans brand new dreams just wild and free,
Shoot your shot run your mouth and took a chance
Leaning on the wall so nervous at the dance
Outrunning every curfew sneaking out at night
Under streetlights pranking maybe start a fight,
We lived those early lives on crazy dares and dreams,
Midnight talks late burn rides and awesome schemes.
We were kings and we didn't know it
Wild and free living in the moment
Every Friday night we had a fire going
Drinking beer with friends around and embers glowin'
