Pedal to the sneakers
Turn up the volume
Blow up the speakers
Best clothes on
Goin' down on fire
Turn the lights off
Turn the music higher
I broke free, cast away
Won't find me
And now your never gonna break me down, gonna break me down
This is all I can take, so farewell
'Cause your never gonna find me now,
Gonna find me now
We are young! (whoa) we are young! (whoa)
We drink and we fight and we love just because
We are numb, (whoa)
We're on the run (whoa)
And your never gonna chase us down.
We are young.
Dance with the devil
Don't be shy
Nothing's gonna stop us
We can't die
Sleepin' in a bed
Waking up outside
At least I can say I tried
So you fathers don't let go of your daughters
We take what we want we don't borrow
Think I found a message in a bottle
This is drinking down your sorrows
I broke free, cast away
Won't find me
And now your never gonna break me down, gonna break me down
This is all I can take, so farewell
'Cause your never gonna find me now, gonna find me now
We are young! (whoa) we are young! (whoa)
We drink and we fight and we love just because,
We are numb, (whoa) We're on the run (whoa)
And your never gonna chase us down.
We are young, young, young (whoa)
We are young, young, young (whoa)
We are young, young, young (whoa)
And your never gonna chase us down
We are young
If I'm doin' this right
I'll be leavin' tonight
I got my bags packed tight
So many reasons to leave
I got my hands on my keys
Ya I'll be leavin' tonight
We are young! (whoa) we are young! (whoa)
We drink and we fight and we love just because,
We are numb, (whoa) we're on the run (whoa)
And your never gonna chase us down.
We are young, young, young (whoa)
We are young, young, young (whoa)
We are young, young, young (whoa)
And your never gonna chase us down
We are young

Won't find me

You will never be able to bring me down again
This is all I can take, so farewell

Dance with the devil
Take risks and live dangerously
Don't be shy
Be bold and confident
Nothing's gonna stop us
No obstacles can halt our progress
We can't die
We feel invincible and immortal
Sleepin' in a bed, waking up outside
We are living recklessly, with no regard for safety or security
At least I can say I tried
I may fail, but I learned from the experience
So you fathers don't let go of your daughters
Parents should be protective and cautious of their children
We take what we want we don't borrow
We take control of our own lives and don't rely on others for help
Think I found a message in a bottle
I have found a message from someone who was lost at sea, a metaphor for discovery
This is drinking down your sorrows
Using alcohol to numb the pain and sorrow
If I'm doin' this right
If I make the right choices
I'll be leavin' tonight
I will depart tonight
I got my bags packed tight
I have my luggage ready to go
So many reasons to leave
I have many reasons to leave
I got my hands on my keys
Ready to start the car and drive away
And your never gonna chase us down
You will never be able to track us down
We are young, young, young (whoa)
We are young and alive
And your never gonna chase us down
You will never be able to catch us
We are young
We are young and free
