Empty garages echo our shouts Two AM diner coffee burns down First kiss, clumsy whispers in the dark Vinyl seats burning through cheap black jeans Sun coming up too soon Every damn morning We were running on petrol and cheap beer dreams Swearing we’d never become our parents No, we’d never become our parents The year we never slept Honestly, we thought we’d live forever Blew my first paycheck on a broken car stereo First loss hit like a hole in the chest Graduation caps tossed to the sky Childhood fading a silent goodbye Nights stretched out forever Almost forever We were running on petrol and cheap beer dreams Swearing we’d never become our parents No, we’d never become our parents The year we never slept Honestly, we thought we’d live forever We said the city was ours Names scratched into parking lot paint Funny how everyone leaves But those nights somehow still stay Streetlights fading into dawn Old voicemails we still can’t erase We were young enough to believe Nothing good could ever change We were running on petrol and cheap beer dreams Swearing we’d never become our parents No, we’d never become our parents The year we never slept Honestly, we thought we’d live forever The year we never slept Yeah, we really thought we’d live forever © 2026 Metro Saints
