Lyrics
[verse]
Riding shotgun with the windows open
Summer tasting like a stolen cigarette
We don't know yet what the years will cost us
We just know tonight we won't forget
[verse]
Parking lots become our little kingdoms
Streetlights buzzing like a lazy song
Nobody's waiting up to catch us
Nobody's telling us where we belong
[chorus]
We are young and the night goes on forever
Engines humming, hearts too loud to hide
Let the world keep spinning without us
We've got nowhere else we'd rather ride
[verse]
Somebody's radio is playing static
Somebody's laughing at the back of the car
We are chasing something we can't name yet
Following the taillights like a star
[chorus]
We are young and the night goes on forever
Engines humming, hearts too loud to hide
Let the world keep spinning without us
We've got nowhere else we'd rather ride
[bridge]
Years from now I'll drive past this same corner
And feel the ghost of who I used to be
Not sad, just quiet, just remembering
How free we were when we were young and free
[verse]
So roll the windows down a little further
Let the summer air erase the clock
We'll be gone before the morning finds us
Still eighteen forever on this block
[chorus]
We are young and the night goes on forever
Engines humming, hearts too loud to hide
Let the world keep spinning without us
We've got nowhere else we'd rather ride
