[Verse 1]
Bike tires squeak on broken pavement
Grass stains up and down our legs
Late July
Pockets full of loose change
Arcade kings
Cardboard crown on your head
Passing notes in the back of science
Folded hearts in a paper plane
Saturday
Buzzers from the driveway
Mom yelling
“Dinner
” we’re yelling
“Let it wait” (hey!)
[Chorus]
We’re the last ones outside
Skin on our knees
Sun in our eyes
Before the scroll
Before the sign-in
We learned to fly on clothesline skies
We’re the last ones outside
Hearts on fire
Nowhere to hide
Growing up fast
Holding on tight
To the world that lived offline
[Verse 2]
Stolen tapes
Subtitles at midnight
Dramas flicker on a boxy screen
Learning words we could barely pronounce
Dreaming of stages we’d never seen (oh yeah)
Now the glow lives under our eyelids
Thumbs run laps till the morning bell
Same friends
Just smaller in a rectangle
Same laugh
Buried in a carousel
[Chorus]
We’re the last ones outside
Skin on our knees
Sun in our eyes
Before the scroll
Before the sign-in
We learned to fly on clothesline skies
We’re the last ones outside
Hearts on fire
Nowhere to hide
Growing up fast
Holding on tight
To the world that lived offline
[Bridge]
Do you remember
Streetlights as our timer
Trading secrets
On the curb like treasure
Do you remember
Rain on plastic helmets
We were warriors
Armed with sticks and questions (woah)
[Chorus]
We’re the last ones outside
Skin on our knees
Sun in our eyes
Before the scroll
Before the sign-in
We learned to fly on clothesline skies
We’re the last ones outside
Hearts on fire
Nowhere to hide
Growing up fast
Holding on tight
To the world that lived offline
[Outro]
We’re the last
We’re the last
Last ones outside
Say it back
Say it back
Keep that world alive (hey!)
