Plastic Heart Parade

[Verse 1]
Click of the clock on the bedroom wall
Left my youth in a shoebox
Down the hall
Old jean jacket and a torn backstage pass
Still smell smoke
Still hear the crowd laugh
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been replaying all my scenes
Fast forward through the in-betweens
If I could jump cut back to you
Would you change the ending too?
[Chorus]
Plastic heart parade
Marching through the mess we made
We were loud
Unafraid
Living like it wouldn’t fade
Plastic heart parade
We were neon
Cheap and brave
You and I
Young and crazed
Leading that plastic heart parade (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
You drew stars on the toes of your shoes
Said
“If we run long enough
We’ll break through”
Kissed me hard in the parking lot rain
Said my real name like a wild hurricane
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been replaying all my scenes
Lip sync lines and cut-off dreams
If I could crash back into you
Would you feel that lightning too?
[Chorus]
Plastic heart parade
Marching through the mess we made
We were loud
Unafraid
Living like it wouldn’t fade
Plastic heart parade
We were neon
Cheap and brave
You and I
Young and crazed
Leading that plastic heart parade (hey!)
[Bridge]
Spin me ‘round
One more time
In that jacket
Out of my mind
If this is all we ever save
Let it be our favorite mistake
[Chorus]
Plastic heart parade
Marching through the mess we made
We were loud
Unafraid
Living like it wouldn’t fade
Plastic heart parade
We were neon
Cheap and brave
You and I
Still half-crazed
Lost in that plastic heart parade
