We Were Here

We walked these streets like kings
Our faces in the wind
And everywhere we were
We made the city sing
We sang forever young
We had our fingers crossed
And when the city sleeps
It dreams of us
Yeah it still does

Oh love it changes shapes
It glows in many shades
We won't be gone as long as
Our echoes resonate
We need no photographs
The past's not only past
I find us everywhere
And that's how the magic lasts

'Cause everywhere we've been
We have been leaving traces
They won't ever disappear
We were here
We were really here
And the rains get rough
But time can't wash us off
We won't ever disappear
We were here
It was really love

Everywhere we've been
We have been leaving traces
They won't ever disappear
We were here
We were really here
And the rains get rough
But time can't wash us off
We won't ever disappear
We were here
It was really love

It's only little things
Footmarks and fingerprints
A treasure hunt through town
It's full of evidence
Our monuments are all around
Everything's on the move
The paint is wet
All colors are new
But if you look carefully
You'll see us shining through

'Cause everywhere we've been
We have been leaving traces
They won't ever disappear
We were here
We were really here
And the rains get rough
But time can't wash us off
We won't ever disappear
We were here
It was really love

Everywhere we've been
We have been leaving traces
Everywhere we've been
We have been leaving traces
And the rains get rough
But time can't wash us off
We won't ever disappear
We were here
It was really love

We were here
We were really here

We were here
We were really here

We were here
We were really here

We were here
We were really here

We were here
We were really here

We're in the air
We're in the water
From the rooftops
Down to the pier
I'll never walk these streets alone
We were here
We were really here

We're in the air
We're in the water
Engraved into waves
Invisible ink on the walls
We were here
We were really here
