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
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

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 will never die
And there'll 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
