[Verse 1]

We used to drive 'til the gaslight screamed

Never cared what the world believed

Radio up, nowhere to be

Just you and me, seventeen

Spinning tales like the world was ours

Shooting stars in a parking lot

Told the future like we had a map

No clue where we were, and that was that

[Pre-Chorus]

Now the coffee's cold, the rent is late

And growing up just overstayed

But if I close my eyes, I swear

I'm back there

[Chorus]

Back when it was easy

When the nights were ours to burn

Kicking back watching TV

Just waiting for the world to turn

No bills, no plans, no safety nets

Just reckless hearts and cigarettes

Tell me, do you ever miss it too?

Back when it was easy, me and you

[Drop]

[Verse 2]

Taped up Polaroids on bedroom walls

Skipping stones and missing calls

Riding bikes with no clear end

Never needed to pretend

Chalk on pavement, hearts on sleeves

Swore we'd never have to leave

Now those streets feel so far gone

Like we blinked and they moved on

[Pre-Chorus]

Now the coffee's cold, the rent is late

And growing up just overstayed

But if I close my eyes, I swear

I'm back there

[Chorus]

Back when it was easy

When the nights were ours to burn

Kicking back watching TV

Just waiting for the world to turn

No bills, no plans, no safety nets

Just reckless hearts and cigarettes

Tell me, do you ever miss it too?

Back when it was easy, me and you

[Bridge]

Maybe we were fools, or maybe we were free

Running on hope and cheap caffeine

But I'd trade these grown-up dreams tonight

To be tangled in those teenage lights

[Chorus]

Back when it was easy

When the nights were ours to burn

Kicking back watching TV

Just waiting for the world to turn

No bills, no plans, no safety nets

Just reckless hearts and cigarettes

Tell me, do you ever miss it too?

Back when it was easy, me and you

[Drop]
