Lyrics
[Verse 1] Shoelaces loose on the schoolyard gate We missed the bus but we’re not running late You’ve got a paper cup, I’ve got a borrowed bike A little bit of nowhere feels exactly right [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plan Just your hand in mine and a beat in our steps [Chorus] We’re young, young, young, and the day is ours Turning small-town corners into after-hours No map, no maybe, no waiting for someday We’re young, young, young, let’s take the long way [Verse 2] Your brother’s old speakers in the back of the car We’re singing every wrong word like we wrote the stars A stop at the market for peaches and fries Sun on our shoulders, laughing till we cry [Pre-Chorus] We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plan Just your hand in mine and a beat in our steps [Chorus] We’re young, young, young, and the day is ours Turning small-town corners into after-hours No map, no maybe, no waiting for someday We’re young, young, young, let’s take the long way [Bridge] When the last train leaves and the shops pull down We’ll find one more street on the edge of town If tomorrow asks where we disappeared Tell it we were busy being right here [Final Chorus] We’re young, young, young, and the day is ours Turning small-town corners into after-hours No map, no maybe, no waiting for someday We’re young, young, young, let’s take the long way [Outro] Take the long way Yeah, take the long way
