[Verse 1]
In a place of youth and new desires
A thousand oceans couldn't quench a fire
You felt that night
You knew just as well as I
[Pre-Chorus]
As soon as the academy closed
It'd be black screens and vintage clothes
The stars our canvas, darling
We lived a lifetime in every heartbeat
[Chorus]
When we were the Kings
(We were, we were)
When we owned the streets
(We were, we were)
Back in our Little Infinity
When we were the Kings
[Verse 2]
Well scars look better on saints and sages
But love looks better on tattered pages
Child, pay no mind
Graffiti turns to art with time
[Pre-Chorus]
As soon as the academy closed
It'd be watching sheets and velvet thrones
The stars are DaVinci, darling
Composing Mona Lisa in the light of car beams
[Chorus]
When we were the Kings
(We were, we were)
When we owned the streets
(We were, we were)
Back in our Little Infinity
When we were the Kings
I'll never forget the way it began:
Warning signs and cigarettes
The world was our king, the time was the bet
Can you feel my heartbeat, you feel my heartbeat
I'll never forget what you said:
You said hold me in, pull your breath
In this moment we are permanent
And you can always find me, you will always find me
[Chorus]
When we were the Kings
When we owned the streets
And back in our Little Infinity
Yeah we're still the Kings
(We are, we are)
Yeah we still own the streets
(We are, we are)
And back in our Little Infinity
When we were the Kings
