City shadows stretching long and thin
Backseat full of secrets, where do we begin?
Radio static crackling like old bones
Chasing echoes down these empty zones
Tank on fumes, but our spirits are full
Pushing limits just to feel the pull
(Pre-Chorus)
Hands on the wheel, eyes on the stars
No map for hearts like ours
(Chorus)
Out ‘til the dawn breaks, 3 a.m. haze, no end in sight
Winding paths to nowhere, under neon lights
Stirring up chaos, laughing through the storm
Hearts on fire, keeping the wild warm
We own the night, no chains to break
Forever young in the mess we make
3 a.m. eternal, never gonna fade
Won’t grow old in this parade
(Verse 2)
Sneaking past the fences, whispers in the dark
Bonfire sparks like shooting stars in the park
Sirens in the distance, we don’t even flinch
Trading stories ‘bout the edge we inch
Parents’ warnings echo, but they’re miles away
In this moment, we’re here to stay
(Pre-Chorus)
Time’s a thief, but we’re the crooks
Stealing hours from the books
(Chorus)
Out ‘til the dawn breaks, 3 a.m. haze, no end in sight
Winding paths to nowhere, under neon lights
Stirring up chaos, laughing through the storm
Hearts on fire, keeping the wild warm
We own the night, no chains to break
Forever young in the mess we make
3 a.m. eternal, never gonna fade
Won’t grow old in this parade
(Bridge)
Someday the sun will rise on suits and ties
Mortgages and mornings, compromise in our eyes
But right here, we’re rebels without a cause
Burning bright, defying all the laws
(Final Chorus – building intensity)
Scream it loud past 3 a.m., chase the moon until it’s gone
Gravel kicking up the dust, singing our rebel song
Trouble’s our shadow, immortality’s the thrill
We’ll ride this wave until we’re still
No tomorrow in our veins
Just endless nights and freedom’s reins
We’re legends in this ghost town glow
Never growing up, hell no
(Outro – fading echoes)
Meet me at the crossroads when the world’s asleep
Same crew, same dream, promises we keep
We’ll always be the kids who run…
…through 3 a.m.
