Velvet Skies

(ooh) We were waiting for the weekend

New sneakers by the back door

Bus stop rain on my sleeve

You drew stars on my notebook

Said, come on, run with me

Last bell rang like a dare now

All our plans came alive

We don't need a reason

Just a countdown in our shoes

If the world says wait up

We say,

not tonight

We are

young on the run

Hearts loud as drums Raise your hands to the summer We won't

slow down We are bright,

we are brave

Writing our names All we need is each other Right here,

right now

Your jacket on my shoulders Blue gum stuck to my jeans We

made maps out of posters Chasing every maybe

By the time we hit the corner

We were bigger than our fears

We don't need permission

Just the spark under our shoes If tomorrow calls us We say,

wait in line We

are

young on the run

Hearts loud as drums Raise your hands to the summer We won't

slow down We are bright,

we are brave

Writing our names All we need is each other Right here,

right now

Right here, right now

When the hallway gets quiet And the posters peel away

I will know your laugh anywhere

Calling me back to the day

Right here, right now

We won't

slow down (ooh)
