Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Days when
We'd fight, we'd fight till I would give in
Yeah, perfect disasters
We were reaching, reaching for the rafters, ay, ay, ay
[Verse 2]
And on most of the days we were searching for ways
To get up and get out of the town we were raised, yeah, 'cause we were done
I remember
We were sleeping in cars, we were searching for Oz, we were burning cigars
With the white plastics tips till we saw the sun
And we said crazy things like
[Verse 3]
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
[Verse 4]
Lights down
And we drive and we're drivin' just to get out
Yeah, perfect disasters
Yeah, we were swinging, swinging from the rafters, ay, ay, ay
[Verse 5]
We were dancing on cars, we were looking for ours, we were naming the stars
After people we knew till we had to go
And we were saying things like
[Verse 6]
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
[Verse 7]
Nights when we kept dancing
Changing all our plans and
Making every day a holiday
Feel the years start burning
City lights, they're turning
But something 'bout this feels the same
[Verse 8]
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
(You and me were kids)
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
[Verse 9]
You and me were kids
