About the song, Skyle...
[Verse 1]
Last night, I came by
Got ignored for a while, then he said, "Hmm
You look good, older"
Started winning me over, mm-mm-mm
High school, sixteen
He'd been out for a while and that helped, mm
It felt nice, he felt like another world
Started falling
[Chorus]
You think you're gonna live forever when you're young
So you get into a Nissan
Doing ninety on the dark cliff drive
Just to know what it feels like
You're stealing money from her wallet, even though
She would give it if you just asked so
Then you tell someone you love another lie
Just to know what it feels like (Oh)
Just to know what it feels like (Oh)
Just to know what it feels like
[Verse 2]
First thing, a fine line
Off a picture of us in baby blue
Big eyes and new highs
Started winning me over, mm-mm-mm
Sad days and headlights
Through the window of our living room
She pulled up too soon
Guess the party is over, yeah
[Chorus]
You think you're gonna live forever when you're young
So you get into a Nissan
Doing ninety on the dark cliff drive
Just to know what it feels like
You're stealing money from her wallet, even though
She would give it if you just asked so
Then you tell someone you love another lie
Just to know what it feels like (Oh)
Just to know what it feels like (Oh)
Just to know what it feels like
[Outro]
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
Just to know what it feels like
