[Verse 1] Bare feet on the brake line Laughing like we won't break Backseat full of cheap wine Skies open, no mistake We said, "Later, maybe never" Made a game out of the edge Every dare felt slick and clever Every lie felt like a pledge [Pre-Chorus] And the world was far away Just a blur beyond the fence We were kissing every warning Like it meant nothing then [Chorus] Young and free Young and free Running blind, running mean Young and free Young and free Didn’t see what it would bring (Young and free) (Young and free) Thought the fall was just a dream Young and free Young and free Now the dark comes back for me [Verse 2] Tinted glass and stolen money Names carved into the desk Acting tough, acting funny Swearing every scar looked best We burned hours like they were paper Took the wrong road just for fun Now that laughter tastes like danger When I hear what we’ve become [Pre-Chorus] All that noise inside our chests All that fire in our hands We were dancing on the wires Never knowing where they land [Chorus] Young and free Young and free Running blind, running mean Young and free Young and free Didn’t see what it would bring (Young and free) (Young and free) Thought the fall was just a dream Young and free Young and free Now the dark comes back for me [Bridge] Tell me where the years went Tell me where the line got crossed We were laughing at the warning Now we’re counting what we lost No time machine, no clean slate Just the sting beneath the skin We were young and we were reckless And the bill came crashing in [Chorus] Young and free Young and free Running blind, running mean Young and free Young and free Didn’t see what it would bring
