(Intro — Spoken: soft, high, slightly raspy)
We were kids with fire in our lungs…
Spring nights. Metropolis lights.
Running wild like the world was ours.
Three days awake. No fear. No brakes.
We didn’t just live it…
we were it.
(whisper)
We were 101.
(Pre-Build -melodic, intimate)
First love.
Ten years.
We grew up in the bassline.
Vegas lights.
Strobes and sweat.
Caravans chasing sunrise.
DJ Dan on the speakers.
Mars & Mystery in the sky.
Donald Glaude shaking the ground.
Tiesto taking us higher.
“Better Off Alone”…
“Castles in the Sky”…
Hands up. Eyes closed.
We were so free.
(Build)
No limits.
No gravity.
No tomorrow to answer to.
Three days deep.
Still dancing.
Still invincible.
We ran the town.
We ran the night.
We ran straight into forever.
We were—
(Silence)
(Main Hook)
WE WERE FREE.
WE WERE EVERYTHING.
HANDS TO THE SKY —
WE COULD DO ANYTHING.
No fear.
No sleep.
Just fire in our veins.
That was the best part of my life.
(Break -emotional, reflective)
Now we’re older.
Different roads.
But I still feel it in my bones.
We have a son.
We have respect.
But God… those nights were gold.
I’d do it all again.
Every reckless heartbeat.
Every sunrise drive.
(Final Build)
I chase that feeling every day.
That freedom.
That rush.
That moment before the drop.
We weren’t lost —
We were alive.
We were—
(FINAL DROP - Victory Version)
WE WERE FREE.
WE WERE 101.
NO RULES.
NO END.
Hands to the sky —
We owned the night.
Three days high on being alive.
That was the best part —
THE BEST PART —
OF MY LIFE.
(extended vocal: liiiiiiiife)
(Outro -soft, nostalgic)
Spring lights.
Metropolis glow.
Bass fading into morning.
We didn’t know it then…
But we were living
the best part
of our lives.
(whisper)
We were 101.
