And stay up all night and sleep all day,
We were smart kids with too much to see.
We were so, so sure that they were missing out,
They're the ones missing out, and
We were elemental, took down to bear essentials,
Who knew we'd get so far?

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.

Play it again, oh.
There's no such thing (no there's never too much).
And we were so, so sure, oh we never had a doubt.
Now were counting days to getting out.

We were elemental, took down to bear essentials.
Who knew we'd get so far?

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.

Pack our bags and let's get away - they're catching on to us. [2x]
Pack our bags and get away - they're catching on to us. [2x]

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city, and go.
