Midnight in a 7-Eleven
Late summer at a college by the sea
Tried hard to get used to the weather
All the hours spent in the driver’s seat
Neon sign on a small-town dive bar
21 or a 20-dollar bill
We arrived somewhere we could be younger
It could change but we never ever will no
We stay, this has only just begun
In this way, we are only chasing the sun
Will you stay? This has only just begun
In this way, we will not forget we were young
Bright lights and a view of the city
Small apartment by the train lines going down
Cheap flights and a one-way ticket
A dozen friends in a house on the edge of town
Looking back, all the seconds were longer
Ain’t it strange just how much we thought we knew
Didn’t pack, never thought we’d get older
We could change, but we never ever want to
We stay, this has only just begun
In this way, we are only chasing the sun
Will you stay? This has only just begun
In this way, we will not forget we were young
It felt like it would last forever
But then we found the end
It felt like it would last forever
But then we found the end
Stay, this has only just begun
In this way, we are only chasing the sun
Will you stay? This has only just begun
In this way, we will not forget we were young
Please do not forget we were young
