Chasing Streetlights - Across The Atlantic

Flash back to a time and place

We were out of my minds making minimum wage

Way back then it was the only thing

Back in those days when I was a teenager

Growing up and leaving home

Always on the run with nowhere to go

Gotta keep it moving til the sun comes up

Got a dream here big but still too young to care

Watching cartoons in the living room, we’re playing video games all day

Not waking up til Friday, hanging by the lake and I was

Singing with my best friends, jumping in the deep end

Growing stronger, talking longer with my father

I could say, I could say we made it out okay

Twenty years have passed

I can’t get a grasp on the times that we had

All the cries that are left

Never felt so fast, we’ll never get it back

I always thought it’d last forever

We got older but whatever

I don’t care, I won’t pretend

I’m still the kid I was back then

I’m still hanging with all my friends

I’m just the kid I was back then

Watching cartoons in the living room, we’re playing video games all day

Not waking up til Friday, hanging by the lake and I was

Singing with my best friends, jumping in the deep end

Growing stronger, talking longer with my father

I could say, I could say we made it out okay

From playing in the sandbox, to driving around toy trucks

To sneaking out of your house and sleeping on the rooftop

In the summer and the spring, we were young and we were free

I wouldn’t change a single thing, we always did it our way

Watching cartoons in the living room, we’re playing video games all day

Not waking up til Friday, hanging by the lake and I was

Singing with my best friends, jumping in the deep end

Growing stronger, talking longer with my father

I could say, I could say we made it out okay
