[Verse 1]
Eyes bright, teeth white
Homegrown dogfight
Hope I don't scare you away
Cold stare, play fair
Unbound, beware
Think I got locked in the cage
[Chorus]
We live and die young, live and die young, in the floodlight
We live and die young, live and die young
[Verse 2]
I tried, tongue tied
Feet cold, stage fright
Running from facing your gaze
I died inside
Oceans I've cried
Now there's not crying for me
[Chorus]
We live and die young, live and die young, in the floodlight
We live and die young, live and die young
[Verse 3]
Truth told, heart bold

Think I stopped running away
Pour out my mouth
These words have clout
Guess I've got something to say
[Chorus]
We live and die young, live and die young
Begging for our fate
We live and die young, live and die young, in the floodlight
We live and die young, live and die young
[Outro]
Hope, that's where my reason goes
Hope, that's where my reason goes I know
(Eyes bright, teeth white
Homegrown dogfight
Hope I don't scare you away)
