We Were Gods
Light the stars in your eyes
Quiet doubts in your mind
Follow me to the place where our colors bled
The young, invincible ones
Rockets aimed at the sun
We never once questioned where we were going
They called us all wrong, and they trashed all our songs
They dressed us for church, and they threw us in blind
We gathered our hands, and we turned towards the wind
It was our time
We were gods, we were gods
We were gods, at least, we thought
I will never forget
Days we skipped out of class
The subtle crash of a kiss still forbidden
When time was our time to waste
And love was ours to forsake
And all our biggest mistakes gave us all our best stories
We threw out the map, and we tossed up our caps
We swore that we'd break every brick in that wall
But it took all our breath when we found that they'd set us up
To fall
We were gods, we were gods
We were gods, at least, we thought…..
Before we were lawyers
And homeless self-employers
Before we crash-landed
Into the sky...
We were gods, we were gods
We were gods, at least, we thought…..
Éramos dioses
Enciende las estrellas en tus ojos
Dudas silenciosas en tu mente
Sígueme al lugar donde nuestros colores se desangraron
Los jóvenes, invencibles
Cohetes apuntando al sol
Nunca cuestionamos a dónde íbamos
Nos llamaron equivocados, y destrozaron todas nuestras canciones
Nos vistieron para la iglesia, y nos lanzaron a ciegas
Juntamos nuestras manos, y nos volvimos hacia el viento
Era nuestro momento
Éramos dioses, éramos dioses
Éramos dioses, al menos, eso creíamos
Nunca olvidaré
Los días que faltábamos a clase
El sutil choque de un beso aún prohibido
Cuando el tiempo era nuestro para desperdiciar
Y el amor era nuestro para abandonar
Y todos nuestros mayores errores nos dieron nuestras mejores historias
Tiramos el mapa, y lanzamos al aire nuestras gorras
Juramos que romperíamos cada ladrillo de ese muro
Pero nos quitó el aliento cuando descubrimos que nos habían tendido una trampa
Para caer
Éramos dioses, éramos dioses
Éramos dioses, al menos, eso creíamos
Antes de ser abogados
Y emprendedores sin hogar
Antes de aterrizar de emergencia
En el cielo...
Éramos dioses, éramos dioses
Éramos dioses, al menos, eso creíamos...
