We knew it was dumb and it shouldn't feel right
But we were so young and at least we have tried
To reach for the stars and at least in our minds
We were who we wanted to be in that night
We lit up a fire and saw through the smoke
Our hopes were so real and our dreams were so close
We thought we could be what we wanted the most
But then we moved on 'cause that's how it goes
Now I'm looking back, got my head full of memories
The blunt we had to hide lies still under the backseat
When I close my eyes I wish you could take me
Take me back to
When we were young
When we ruled the world
When we danced 'til dawn
Take me back to
When we were young
When we ruled the world
When we danced 'til dawn
We know it is dumb and it shouldn't feel right
But we are still young and at least we can try
To reach for the stars and at least in our minds
We'll be who we want to be in that night
We think about visions and dreams that we have
How time passes by and old friends that we left
About how we can be what we want the most
But then we move on cause that's how it goes
Driving in the sunlight, smoking weed under palm trees
The moments we live through will one day be our memories
When I close my eyes I wish you could take me
Take me back to
When we were young
When we ruled the world
When we danced til dawn
Take me back to
When we were young
When we ruled the world
When we danced til dawn
