Youth

We had ten bucks and a full gas tank Backseat packed with a tie-dye shirt Knees on the dash and a speaker crack Laughing like we could outrun hurt Your name on a wristband, bent and torn Mine in the dirt on a baseball field We kept on moving, kept on moving on Like broken things could never heal And the night kept calling Soft and loud Our hearts were wild And unbroken somehow We didn't ask for forever Just one more hour Youth, youth, youth We burn so bright Youth, youth, youth We own the night Hold it high, hold it high Cause it goes too fast Youth, youth, youth Make it last (Make it last) Mom's old van with the dented door Parked by the lake where the cattails sway Cheap perfume and a thrift-store chord All of our fears in the backseat stayed We made a vow on a soda cap Swore we'd never let the spark go cold Now every scar feels like a map Back to the days we were pure gold And the clock kept spinning But we stood still With our fists full of chances Our heads full of thrill We didn't know what we were losing Just how it felt Youth, youth, youth We burn so bright Youth, youth, youth We own the night Hold it high, hold it high Cause it goes too fast Youth, youth, youth Make it last (Make it last)
