  • Lost in suburbia, we were too feral to tame
    Built kingdoms in cul-de-sacs without a penny to our name
    We were off the grid, just being kids
    If you know, you know
    And nothing was serious, and life was mysterious
    And I thought that

    You and I would never die
    And there'd always be a castle to defend
    And when we let it go
    We didn't know that we'd never be this young again
    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-whoa
    Never be this young

    Surfing the blacktop, mixtapes of punk rock
    And backyard battlefields
    We stayed out past curfew, planning our next move
    Just to see how it feels
    And no one knew the score in the bottle rocket wars
    Hey

    And you and I would never die
    And there'd always be a castle to defend
    And when we let it go
    We didn't know that we'd never be this young again

    And we spent our last nights
    Under the street lights with our friends
    And we made a stand in Neverland
    And didn't know we'd never be this young again

    You know we'd never be this young again
    Never be this young again

    Bid farewell to the breakfast club
    Say goodnight to the ones we love
    Step-by-step, we were born to run
    We were born to run
    'Cause

    You and I would never die
    And there'd always be a castle to defend
    And when we let it go
    We didn't know that we'd never be this young again

    And we spent our last nights
    Under the street lights with our friends
    And we made a stand in Neverland
    And didn't know we'd never be this young again

    Whoa-oh-oh, oh-whoa
    We'd never be this young again
    And we spent our last nights
    Under the street lights with our friends Writer/s: Brent Smith, Eric Bass
