lyrics

I could take my hat and turn it backwards
I could go online and learn a bad word for you
(Ah, ah)
I could buy you flowers, you could throw ‘em away
I’ll dig ‘em out the trash and I will give ‘em to you anyway

And if it breaks our hearts
Then at least we tried
We’re young until the day

Love shook grinning from your ear to ear
Come a little closer, you know I got something I wanna hear
Just tell me something baby, I got something to prove
Whisper in my ear and give me something
Give me something to lose
(Give me something to lose)
(To lose)

We’ve been working hard for a half-smoked cigarette
We’ve been playing cards
Making memories you won’t forget

We can just be kids in a cardboard castle
We can just be young
Play it dumb for a year or two

And if it breaks our hearts
Then at least we tried
We’re young until the day

Working on our final drop of gasoline
The half-spilled caffeine, spilling into our bloodstream
(Our bloodstream)

Take your right hand and point it to the clouds
We’re living on a prayer but we have yet to sort the ending out
Won’t you sort it out for me, baby

We’ve been working hard for a half-smoked cigarette
We’ve been playing cards
Making memories we won’t forget

We can just be kids in a cardboard castle
We can just be young
Play it dumb for a year or two

And if it breaks our hearts
Then at least we tried
We’re young until the day

So just forget what your father told you of love
We’ve only got a half-a-hundred trips around the sun

And if you love me the way that I love you
Well, we should run to a church and tear out the seats and the pues

We’ve got our whole lives to work on our 401
So while we still have our shadows, lets try to outrun the sun

So just forget what your father told you of truth
We could live here forever, stuck in the days of our youth

We’re young until the day

We’ve been working hard for a half-smoked cigarette
We’ve been playing cards
Making memories we won’t forget

We can just be kids in a cardboard castle
We can just be young
Play it dumb for a year or two

And if it breaks our hearts
Then at least we tried
We’re young until the day we die
