| We were kids
|
| Lookin' out into nothin'
|
| Lookin' for a way to get around the night
|
| We were kids
|
| Holdin' out for a dream
|
| We were born to be wild and free
|
| Or sit alone online
|
| But I don’t wanna wait
|
| Sit the other side of these flood lights
|
| Dreaming up a way to escape
|
| Anyone around?
|
| Give me mission control, give me a sound on the radio
|
| Stand up and be counted
|
| Before we slip away out here
|
| Before we slip away, slip away
|
| Don’t ever doubt it
|
| And even if we’re surrounded
|
| Don’t wanna slip away, slip away
|
| Slip away (slip)
|
| Slip away (slip)
|
| We were Kings
|
| We were Queens of an empire
|
| We were made out on these sheets
|
| We were all designed
|
| So, if we’re gonna break
|
| If we’re gonna tumble in a gunfight
|
| Promise we’ll be side by side
|
| Say you’ll be there when the school gets closed
|
| Say you’ll be there when the rest don’t show
|
| Stand up and be counted
|
| Before we slip away out here
|
| Before we slip away, slip away
|
| Don’t ever doubt it
|
| And even if we’re surrounded
|
| Don’t wanna slip away, slip away
|
| High on hope and high on fear
|
| We were heartbreak of the year
|
| We were stackin' up to fall
|
| We were summers in the street
|
| We were sunlight through the trees
|
| We were born for silver screens
|
| We were whispers in the dark
|
| We were sleeping under stars
|
| Saying all of this is ours
|
| We were rollercoaster screams
|
| 'Til our hearts burst at the seams
|
| We’re not gonna let it all
|
| Stand up and be counted
|
| Before we slip away out here
|
| Before we slip away, slip away |
