Bloodshot morning
Runway lights
London calling
We could be any place, any time, in any moment
It's a race to the line
Breakaway from the life that they sold ya
All we know is go, go, go
All we know is go, go, go
We got, we got the life unbelievable
Sleep when we're dead
Live like we're invincible
Oh
We're young and relentless
Get up, get out your mind 'cause you never knew
No way to hit rewind once your eyes close
So, we're young and relentless
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
Jetlag daydream
No permanent address
It's like a memory fading
Of a New York sunset
Yeah, we could be any place, any time, in any moment
It's a race to the line
Break away from the life that they sold ya
Pack a bag, say goodbye
All we know is go, go, go
All we know is go, go, go
We got, we got the life unbelievable
Sleep when we're dead
Live like we're invincible
Oh
We're young and relentless
Get up, get out your mind 'cause you never know
No way to hit rewind once your eyes close
Oh
We're young and relentless
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
All we know is go, go, go
All we know is go, go, go
We got, we got the life unbelievable
Sleep when we're dead
Live like we're invincible
Oh
We're young and relentless
Get up, get out your mind 'cause you never know
No way to hit rewind once your eyes close
Oh
We're young and relentless
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
