We were young, our moments borrowed Sneaking out while streetlights glowed Past manicured, forbidden grounds Silent green-ways held no sounds Just whispers in the humid air A joyful, reckless, youthful dare Beneath the vast and inky black There was no turning, looking back And the world seemed open, like our songs It felt so right, even if we were wrong Cool grass beneath our restless feet A thumping bass, the distant beat We lived on borrowed time, a show Bathing in the city's glow No maps, no rules, just chasing youth In the wild, speaking truth Yeah, those nights won't let me go Lost in that soft orange glow First touch, a spark, electric feels Words unspoken, held the key Shared a flask, a hidden smoke Laughter spilling from each joke Tumbling down a silent slope Lost in youth, beyond all hope Of morning light, we wished it stayed A perfect scene, expertly made And the world seemed open, like our songs It felt so right, even if we were wrong Cool grass beneath our restless feet A thumping bass, the distant beat We lived on borrowed time, a show Bathing in the city's glow No maps, no rules, just chasing youth In the wild, speaking truth Yeah, those nights won't let me go Lost in that soft orange glow The air grew thick, the stars spun slow A kaleidoscopic dizzy glow Laughter spiraled, haunting, sweet As the world turned ’neath our feet Lost in moments, time’s embrace Wished it wouldn’t drift away, Away Away Sometimes I drive familiar streets Searching for those faded beats The soft orange glow still rising high Reflected in these wiser eyes A phantom touch, a whispered name Still fuels an echo of that flame Wishing I could step in time Steal just one more perfect rhyme And the world seemed open, like our songs It felt so right, even if we were wrong Cool grass beneath our restless feet A thumping bass, the distant beat We lived on borrowed time, a show Bathing in the city's glow No maps, no rules, just chasing youth In the wild, speaking truth Yeah, those nights still echo in my soul Lost in that soft orange glow
