[Verse 1] Morning light through the windowpane Books on the table Learning in our own way No crowded halls No ringing sound Just voices at home And the world all around Pencils down When the day feels right Sneakers on We’re out the door in flight Laughing loud Down the neighborhood street Knocking fast With a racing heartbeat [Pre-Chorus] Hey, can you play? We call out loud Fingers crossed Hoping they come out [Chorus] And when they say yeah We don’t wait around We run to the backyard Feet off the ground Sun going down But we don’t even care We’ve got the whole wide world Right there Sharks and minnows Don’t get caught Red rover Give it all you’ve got Color game Pick your side Infection spreads But we still survive Yeah, these are the days We won’t forget Running wild Till the sun has set [Verse 2] Grass-stained jeans And a scraped up knee Every mark tells A memory No screens calling No need to stay We’re building our stories Out here in play Hide and seek Till the sky turns gold Every laugh Is a story told Breathless shouting Just one more round Echoes of joy In every sound [Pre-Chorus] Last one out We shout again But we all know It never ends [Chorus] And when they say yeah We don’t wait around We run to the backyard Feet off the ground Sun going down But we don’t even care We’ve got the whole wide world Right there Sharks and minnows Don’t get caught Red rover Give it all you’ve got Color game Pick your side Infection spreads But we still survive Yeah, these are the days We won’t forget Running wild Till the sun has set [Bridge] One day we’ll be older Gone our ways But we’ll remember these Endless days The dirt The laughs The way we ran Before we ever had A plan [Final Chorus] And when they said yeah We flew outside With nothing to lose And nowhere to hide No better place Nowhere to be Than right here With our family Sharks and minnows One last race Red rover We still break through the chain Color game In fading light Infection turns To fireflies at night Yeah, these are the days We won’t forget Running wild Till the sun has set
