Fake-IDs & Real Regrets

[Verse 1]
Borrowed jackets
Stamped hands
Wet ink
You said
“Act older
Than we ever think”
Bathrooms crowded
Smudged black on your neck
Laughing too loud
Daring every red check
[Chorus]
Fake-IDs & real regrets
We were betting hearts like cigarettes
Burned too fast and kept the ash
Thought those nights were just a crash
Fake-IDs & real regrets
Didn’t know that this was as good as it gets
All that careless
Reckless mess
Left a mark I can’t forget
[Verse 2]
You kissed strangers
On a Tuesday night
I filmed fireworks
From a busted streetlight
Said “we’ll move someday
Where it all makes sense”
Then missed your call
While I played pretend
[Chorus]
Fake-IDs & real regrets
We were betting hearts like cigarettes
Burned too fast and kept the ash
Thought those nights were just a crash
Fake-IDs & real regrets
Didn’t know that this was as good as it gets
All that careless
Reckless mess
Left a mark I can’t forget
[Bridge]
[Half-time
Close-up mixed vocals]
I thought we’d outgrow
Every scar we made
Now I drive by that bar
And your name feels strange
Who knew cheap wristbands
Could weigh this much
Who knew the last time
Was the last touch
[Chorus]
Fake-IDs & real regrets
We were betting hearts like cigarettes
Burned too fast and kept the ash
Thought those nights were just a crash
Fake-IDs & real regrets
Didn’t know that this was as good as it gets
If I could go back for one sunset
I’d stay inside that stupid set
Fake-IDs & real regrets

Fast, scrappy pop-punk energy with mixed vocals trading lines; crunchy guitars, tight bass, and brisk live drums. Verses stay lean and conversational, choruses jump with big gang vocals and shout-along hooks. Brief half-time bridge drops to palm-muted riffs and intimate close-mic dual vocal before slamming back into a final explosive chorus., fake
