Lyrics
Intro)
Yeah...
Look.
Turn my headphones up just a little bit.
Yeah, right there.
Mmm, mm-mm.
You know how it goes when you're young and you don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'—except for the way your hands fit.
Listen.
Verse 1: Sung / Melodic R&B
Ten past two, headlights on the ceiling
We got too much pride to name the feeling
Swear we wise beyond our seventeen years
Trading validation for our hidden tears
Got my zip code tattooed on your mind
Two kids running out of precious time
They say "slow down," but we accelerate
Catching feelings at a ninety-rate
Verse 2: Rapped / Smooth Cadence
Yeah, pocket full of dreams and a broken-down car
Driving down the boulevard, chasing down a star
We ain't got a budget, but we got a lot of heart
Trying not to let the little distance tear us apart
Mama said that puppy love is bound to fade away
Acting like we know the rules and writing our own play
Sitting on the hood, counting every single scar
Wondering who we're gonna be when we get where we are
And you look at me like I'm the answer to your prayers
While we're hiding all our secrets underneath the stairs
Chorus: Sung / Emotional & Soulful
Oh, baby, we're too young to know how to love
Looking for answers in the stars up above
If this is a phase, I never wanna grow up
Pouring our hearts out 'til the cup is overflowing
Where we're going, heaven only knows
Oh, it hurts so good when the young blood flows
Verse 3: Rapped / Introspective Flow
Now it's 3 AM, and the phone is on mute
Weighing out our futures in a secondhand suit
Talking 'bout forever like we got it guaranteed
Just a couple broken souls trying hard to heal and succeed
Got your polaroids pinned up on my bedroom wall
Watching every single picture as the seasons fall
They don't understand the heavy weight of being light
Holding onto each other through the longest night
Yeah, we built a whole castle out of pillowcases
Tracing silhouettes of our future faces
Bridge: Sung / Gospel-Influenced Falsetto
Lord, have mercy on these tender hearts...
We're just figuring it out in the dark.
If it breaks, let it break, let it shatter into gold
At least we felt something real before we got old.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it now?
Chorus: Sung / Full Band Drop, Rich Harmonies
Oh, baby, we're too young to know how to love
Looking for answers in the stars up above
If this is a phase, I never wanna grow up
Pouring our hearts out 'til the cup is overflowing
Where we're going, heaven only knows
Oh, it hurts so good when the young blood flows
Outro: Spoken / Spoken-Word over Fading Guitar
Yeah.
Just two kids.
Trying to figure out eternity in a summer.
It's crazy how time moves when you're looking into the right eyes.
Don't wake me up if this is a dream.
Let it ride.
