We were kids
Lookin' out into nothin'
Lookin' for a way to get around at 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?
Get 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
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 streets
We were all desire
So, if we're gonna break
If we're gonna tumble in the gunfire
Promise we'll be side by side
Say you'll be there when the school gates close
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
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 (oh, oh)
We were summers in the street
We were sunlight through the trees
We were born for silver screens (oh, oh)
We were whispers in the dark
We were sleeping under stars
Singing, "all of this is ours" (oh oh)
We were rollercoaster screams
'Til our hearts burst at the seams
We're not gonna let it all go up in smoke
Stand up and be counted
Before we slip away out here
Before we slip away, slip away
