This is youth, this is youth

Mmm, yeah. We wore our names like proof, like badges on The backs of borrowed jackets. Chain link fence, scraped knees, and a heart that Never sat still. We said forever like a dare with our mouths Full of arcade air. Cheap soda, painted nails, and the world all in Our hands. And if it breaks, we break loud. If we fall, we fall proud. Nothing golden stays in place, So we run before it fades. This is youth, this is youth. We burn bright, tell the truth. Hands up, hearts out. We don't know how to slow down. This is youth, this is youth. Say it loud, say it through. We were born for the climb, for the crash, For the shine. We danced in the grocery parking lot under a Moon that wasn't much. Your laugh cut through the heat like a spark In a paper cup. Mama called, "Come home soon." We said, "One more song," and it was true. 'Cause the clock never won When we were twenty-one. And if it breaks, we break loud. If we fall, we fall proud. Nothing golden stays in place, So we run before it fades. This is youth, this is youth. We burn bright, tell the truth. Hands up, hearts out. We don't know how to slow down. This is youth, this is youth. Say it loud, say it through. We were born for the climb, for the crash, For the shine. Maybe this is all we get. A few wild years, a few wild bets. So kiss it like you mean it. Hold it close, then leave It. This is youth, this is youth. We burn bright, tell the truth. Hands up, hearts out. We don't know how to slow down. This is youth, this is youth. Say it loud, say it through. We were born for the climb, for the crash, For the Shine. This is youth. This is youth. We were made to Come Alive. This is Youth.
