[Verse]
Neon nights and sneakers tight
Walkmans buzzed till morning light
Velvet chokers
Dreams untamed
We ran wild
No one to blame
[Chorus]
Back in the day
We burned so bright
Dancing till dawn
Hearts took flight
Back in the day
We had it all
Big wide world
And we felt small
[Verse 2]
Graffiti walls
Our names still stay
Mixed tapes spinning
Love on replay
Baggy jeans
Our rebel flag
Time was ours
No need to brag
[Prechorus]
We had no rules
We made our own
No cellphones
Just payphones
[Chorus]
Back in the day
We burned so bright
Dancing till dawn
Hearts took flight
Back in the day
We had it all
Big wide world
And we felt small
[Bridge]
CDs skipped but we didn’t care
Frosted tips and bleached-out hair
Streetlights flickered
Calling us home
But the night was ours to roam
