[Verse 1] We used to steal time from the sun Backseat plans, nowhere to run Skate shoes squeakin’ down old halls Talkin' like we’d never fall Mom said, “Life comes fast, you’ll see” But we were gods in ripped-up jeans Passin’ notes like they were gold Swore we’d never, ever get old [Pre-Chorus] Now we’re grown, or close enough Payin’ rent, forgettin' stuff But I still feel that wild kid buzz Every time I hear us [Chorus] We were just kids, runnin’ through the dark No maps, just hearts and shopping carts Laughin’ loud with soda lips Fireworks under busted streetlights We were just kids, tryna make it last Speedin’ down roads we can’t get back Still hear your voice in every song Like we’re forever young, singin’ all night long [Verse 2] Snuck into the pool at 3AM Told the stars we’d never bend You kissed me like the world was fake Then dared me just to stay awake Now I sip my coffee slow Try to smile, let the past go But damn, those nights still pull me in Like nothin’ real has happened since [Pre-Chorus] And maybe that’s just how it is We all grow up, but we still miss That messy magic, heat and risk That lived in us back then [Chorus] We were just kids, runnin’ through the dark No maps, just hearts and shopping carts Laughin’ loud with soda lips Fireworks under busted streetlights We were just kids, tryna make it last Speedin’ down roads we can’t get back Still hear your voice in every song Like we’re forever young, singin’ all night long [Bridge] If I could freeze that look you gave When the world felt ours to save I’d play it back on every day I forget how to feel brave [Final Chorus] We were just kids, runnin’ through the dark No maps, just hearts and shopping carts Laughin’ loud with soda lips Fireworks under busted streetlights We were just kids, tryna make it last Speedin’ down roads we can’t get back Still hear your voice in every song Like we’re forever young Singin’ all night long
