[Verse 1]
Paper hearts on our backpacks
Now they’re taped over with tape and knives
Homecoming posters bleaching
On the bricks of a school half alive
Locker doors hang open
Like they’re asking where we’ve been
We sleep in the nurse’s office
Counting every new scar on our skin
[Chorus]
We’re still here
Last bell still ringing in our heads (heads)
Blood on our shoes
Jokes on our breath
Yeah
We laugh standing one step from death
We’re still here
Bruised hands
Duct-taped armor on our arms
Prom king
Prom queen
Now we’re on guard
If this is the end
We’ll write it in marker
We’re still here
[Verse 2]
Practice field turned graveyard
Helmets stacked like empty crowns
We use trophies for tripwires
Yearbooks to start the fires when the sun goes down
We pass notes in the blackout
“Are you scared?” / “Me too” / “Stay close”
If we make it to the rooftop
We’ll watch the strip mall ghosts
[Chorus]
We’re still here
Last bell still ringing in our heads (heads)
Blood on our shoes
Jokes on our breath
Yeah
We laugh standing one step from death
We’re still here
Bruised hands
Duct-taped armor on our arms
Prom king
Prom queen
Now we’re on guard
If this is the end
We’ll write it in marker
We’re still here
[Bridge]
Parents’ cars in the parking lot
Keys still in
Lights dead cold
We drive them in our daydreams
Shouting
“We got old
We got old”
But right now it’s just four kids
Sharing one last piece of gum
Swearing if the world goes silent
Our hearts still beat like drums (hey!)
[Chorus]
We’re still here
Last bell still ringing in our heads (heads)
Blood on our shoes
Jokes on our breath
Yeah
We laugh standing one step from death
We’re still here
Bruised hands
Duct-taped armor on our arms
Prom king
Prom queen
Now we’re on guard
If this is the end
We’ll write it in marker
We’re still here
We’re still here
