Chappel Roan wrote School Nights at summer camp. She was feeling so strange because she was getting older but wanted to stay young, and there was nothing she could do about it. She wanted to be with someone who made her feel like a kid. She wanted to write about the feeling of having a crush on some...
[Verse 1]
I'm feeling childish
When you draw tattoos on my forearm
Pop bubblegum too loud
We got them preachin' that we're hell-bound
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't think we are unless you do
[Chorus]
I wanna be a kid with you
Talk slow on a school night
And you can disregard my virgin ears and say what you like
You wanna win me over now?
Impress me like a school fight
And I triple-dog dare ya
To pinky-promise that you'll never lie
Ooh ooh oh
[Verse 2]
We light firecrackers in the middle of the street
You hear them yellin' at us
But you, listen to me
As I pour my voice in your soul
You say "goddamn let's never get old," and
I agree
[Chorus]
I wanna be a kid with you
Talk slow on a school night
And you can disregard my virgin ears and say what you like
You wanna win me over now?
Impress me like a school fight
And I triple-dog dare ya
To pinky-promise that you'll never lie
Ooh ooh oh
[Bridge]
Make me a ring out of clover flowers
Sit in a teacup, spin for hours
I'm official, I know I'm official
Got a badge to your club and
One has initials
You become King Kong
You're King Kong
You grow up so strong
You're so strong
But I wannna stay young
Yeah, I wanna stay young with you
Yeah, I wanna stay young
Yeah, I wanna stay young with you
Wanna stay young
I wanna stay young with you
Wanna stay young
I wanna stay young
[Chorus]
I wanna be a kid with you
Talk slow on a school night
And you can disregard my virgin ears and say what you like
You want to win me over now?
Impress me like a school fight
And I triple-dog dare ya
To pinky-promise that you'll never lie
Ooh ooh oh
