[Verse] Back in the day, we’d find our gold In scraps of the city, stories untold Cardboard castles under streetlight beams Kings and queens born from childhood dreams [Pre-Chorus] Glue and glitter, our royal decree From nothing at all, we built our spree Laughter echoing through every zone In hearts of paper, we made our throne [Chorus] Crowns from cardboard, dreams that we own Ruling our playground, staking our home Thrones made of scraps, but spirits so bold Young hearts turning nothing to gold Crowns from cardboard, dreams that we own Ruling our playground, staking our home Thrones made of scraps, but spirits so bold In cardboard kingdoms, we never grow old [Verse] Sunset fades but the magic stays Wrapped in the wonder of those carefree days Fingers worn from the edges we’d fold Stories of glory that never get old [Pre-Chorus] Painted with hope, our tiny domain Holding the world in a cardboard frame With every crease, a memory sewn In these paper realms, we made our throne [Chorus] Crowns from cardboard, dreams that we own Ruling our playground, staking our home Thrones made of scraps, but spirits so bold Young hearts turning nothing to gold Crowns from cardboard, dreams that we own Ruling our playground, staking our home Thrones made of scraps, but spirits so bold In cardboard kingdoms, we never grow old [Bridge] Now I see those crowns in the mirror’s gaze Reminding me of those fearless days Though time moves on, that spark still flies A queen’s born where the cardboard lies [Chorus] Crowns from cardboard, dreams that we own Ruling our playground, staking our home Thrones made of scraps, but spirits so bold Young hearts turning nothing to gold Crowns from cardboard, dreams that we own Ruling our playground, staking our home Thrones made of scraps, but spirits so bold In cardboard kingdoms, we never grow old [Outro] In cardboard kingdoms, we never grow old With paper and dreams, our stories are told
