[Verse 1] Your street runs quiet after nine Porch lights blinking down the line Crickets playing backup band To every story in your hands You point out where the old school stood Where you ran wild when life was good Say “We thought we owned the town” Like no one ever wrote us down [Chorus] Garden chair rebels Kings and queens of borrowed things Midnight thieves of summer air And cheap freedom on a string Garden chair rebels Running from the rules you knew Funny how the wildest gal Now just sits here next to you [Verse 2] You drag two chairs across the grass Like we’re ghosts from teenage past Paint chipped white and leaning back Stars sneaking through the black You say “We used to sit right here Talking loud so they’d all hear” Then softer like it’s just for me “Guess I’m still that gal, you see” [Chorus] Garden chair rebels Kings and queens of borrowed things Midnight thieves of summer air And cheap freedom on a string Garden chair rebels Running from the rules you knew Funny how the wildest gal Now just sits here next to you [Bridge] Someone’s dog starts barking loud Like it’s warning off the crowd You whisper “We should probably run” But neither one of us moves now You lean your head against the sky Say “Growing up’s a weird disguise” I say maybe we just learned Different ways to stay alive [Final Chorus] Garden chair rebels Still stealing little hours Still sitting where the rules get small Under sleepy summer stars Garden chair rebels Maybe time can’t take that far You say that was another life But I think that’s who you are Garden chair rebels
