[Verse 1]
Scuffed up grip tape
Thrashed Vans on the gym floor
Stair set
Dare set
Bleeding through the indoors
Upstate winters
Salt lines on our jeans
We turned that AV room
Into our silver screen (hey!)
[Chorus]
Play it loud in the AV room
Taconic dreams in a blown-out boom
Fast tracks
Heart cracks
Laughing in bloom
We were kings of the hallway
Skate deck crowns in a small-town gloom
Turn it up in the AV room
[Verse 2]
Bash Road
Back lot
Red cups by the hay bales
Alt kids
J-pop
Hooked on foreign fairy tales
Punk scars
Lip rings
Screaming at the bleachers
Small-town static
Big-time broken speakers (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Play it loud in the AV room
Taconic dreams in a blown-out boom
Fast tracks
Heart cracks
Laughing in bloom
We were kings of the hallway
Skate deck crowns in a small-town gloom
Turn it up in the AV room
[Bridge]
Catamount night runs
Floodlights on the slope
Board edge
Cold lungs
Carving out our hope
Every fall
Every bruise
Every lift-line joke
We were sharpening our fuse
Till the world caught smoke (woah)
[Chorus]
Play it loud in the AV room
Taconic dreams in a blown-out boom
Fast tracks
Heart cracks
Laughing in bloom
We were kings of the hallway
Skate deck crowns in a small-town gloom
Turn it up in the AV room
[Breakdown]
Hands up
Lights down
One more chorus
One more round
Upstate kids
Up too late
Shouting every line like fate
Hands up
Lights down
Let that old floor shake and pound
AV ghosts still sing it through
Turn it up in the AV room (hey!)
