We carry the world on our shoulders Swearing we'll change when we're older We steal away like thieves and make the most of these days We're lucky to be free while they're stuck in their old ways We always fall in love with the wrong thing Flying too close to the sun with our wax wings We'll never stop, we're tired of waiting Raise up the banner, yeah, we are the new kings We carry the weight of these young hearts Swearing there's gold in these junk yards We steal away like thieves and make the most of these days We're lucky to be free while they're stuck in their old ways We always fall in love with the wrong things Flying too close to the sun with our wax wings We'll never stop, we're tired of waiting Raise up the banner, yeah, we are the new kings We are the new kings We wear these heavy crowns Raise up the banner We are the new kings now We are the new kings We wear these heavy crowns Raise up the banner We are the new kings now We always fall in love with the wrong things Flying too close to the sun with our wax wings We'll never stop, we're tired of waiting Raise up the banner, yeah, we are the new kings
