[Verse 1]
You told your folks you were leavin'
We hit the road that evening
The rusted key to the hotel
Unlocks your heart it might as well
[Pre-Chorus 1]
From the curb to the back seats
And the streets to the bedsheets
Getting kicks on the carpet
Baby we were kidding ourselves alright
[Chorus]
We were only kids last night
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala
[Verse 2]
Open sweet taste of heartache
The lipstick heart around our names
[Pre-Chorus 2]
From the beds that we dreamt in
To the cars that we slept in
Getting kicks on the corner
Swore that we would never give up our life
[Chorus]
’Cause we were only kids last night
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Sleep in the red lights
Headbulbs and headlights
Well, who said the youths wasted all the young
We will go and prove them right
Yeah, we'll waste tomorrow
[Chorus]
'Cause we were only kids last night
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala
[Bridge]
From your hair back to the wind
Let those freckles set fire to your face
You can bury my bed
’Cause i sleep when i'm dead
With just walking away
From the kids that we were yesterday
[Chorus]
'Cause we were only kids last night
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Seat belts and red lights
Oh, headbulbs and headlights
Yeah, who said the youths wasted all the young
Well, We will go and prove them right
Yeah, we'll waste tomorrow
[Chorus]
We were only kids last night
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala (Oh Last night)
Lalalala lalala
Lalalala lalala (We were only kids last night)
