young love

(Verse 1) Sneakers scuffed up on the pavement, running through the red lights Sneaking out the window just to kick it on the weeknights Grip upon your hand, got me tripping on the curb Man, I used to have a flow, now I'm tripping on a word Looking at my phone, checking if you read the text yet Fourteen missed calls, we ain't even stressed yet Sitting on the bleachers, baseline, dreaming about the lifetime You become my baseline, center of my night-time They talk about the future like it's something we should fear But the universe is shrinking every time that you get near Got the world on our shoulders but we're throwing up a shrug Ain't no drug in the world that can match this kind of hug We're writing out our names on the dusty window pane They try to tell us fire always ends up in the rain But we're dancing in the puddles, we're ignoring all the signs Two kids painting pictures right outside the heavy lines, yeah. (Chorus) They say we're too young, say it's just a little phase We're just kids lost inside a temporary maze But my heart's beating heavy like an 808 bass And I see my whole future when I'm looking at your face Yeah, they tell us tone it down, tell us wait a couple years But we're drowning out the doubt, we're erasing all the fears Young love, fast lane, never hitting brakes We don't care about the costs, we don't care about mistakes. (Verse 2) Yeah, pocket full of lint and a couple dollar bills Sharing half a soda while we're sitting on the hills Nervous with the talk, got my palms a little sweaty Every time you smile, man, my chest is getting heavy We don't need a map, we don't need a reservation Every single block is a brand new destination Hoodie smelling like you when you leave it in my car We ain't got a lot, but we're reaching for a star Grown-ups talking down like we don't know what it means Like you gotta be thirty just to know about the scenes But I know the way I feel when you're standing in the room And I know this little spark's about to hit a sonic boom They say it's puppy love, yeah they call it infatuation But this feels like the foundation of a whole entire nation Built on late night talks and a promise in the dark Leaving tire tracks behind us as we're pulling out the park, let's go. (Chorus) They say we're too young, say it's just a little phase We're just kids lost inside a temporary maze But my heart's beating heavy like an 808 bass And I see my whole future when I'm looking at your face Yeah, they tell us tone it down, tell us wait a couple years But we're drowning out the doubt, we're erasing all the fears Young love, fast lane, never hitting brakes We don't care about the costs, we don't care about mistakes. (Verse 3) Now the clock is ticking down and the semesters finna end Everybody's asking if you're staying just a friend Got the college letters coming, got the pressure from the dean But the only thing I'm studying is you upon my screen Yeah, we're staring at the ceiling while the fan is spinning slow Trading all our secrets that nobody else would know Like the time you almost cried when your sister moved away Or the things I never tell my boys about my worst days It's a heavy kind of loyalty, a ride-or-die design We're drawing up a contract that we never had to sign If the world splits open and the sky begins to fall I just need your digits on the speed dial of my call They can lock us in a room, they can try to cut the cord But a love like this is something that they never could afford Yeah, we're young, yeah, we're reckless, yeah, we're making people mad But it's the best damn feeling that I ever could've had. (Bridge) And if it crashes, if it burns, if it breaks apart tomorrow I would take a thousand days of heavy-hearted sorrow Just to keep the memory of sitting on the hood Of that beat-up Honda Civic where we finally understood That the world is way too big for us to ever do it solo So I'm holding onto you like the logo on my polo Yeah, they think it's temporary but they don't see the spark We're glowing like the neon when the city's going dark. (Chorus) They say we're too young, say it's just a little phase We're just kids lost inside a temporary maze But my heart's beating heavy like an 808 bass And I see my whole future when I'm looking at your face Yeah, they tell us tone it down, tell us wait a couple years But we're drowning out the doubt, we're erasing all the fears Young love, fast lane, never hitting brakes We don't care about the costs, we don't care about mistakes. (Outro) Yeah, just a porch light glowing. Time moving fast but the clock's slowing. They can say what they want, we ain't listening anyway. Got your hand in my pocket, keeping all the chill away. Let them talk. Let them write it off. We know what it is. Young love. Yeah. It's here to stay. Fade the beat out.
