How the Midwest Was Won
I remember running through the yard
We were so young
There was so much to see
I remember sneaking out the window
Tearing through the neighborhood and hitting up our favorite spots and make out lots
The world was just so big to us
We never did what we were told
We lived our lives like we would never die
Can we take back
All those years we have wasted
Growing up missing what we left behind
We were so free
We were the kings of this town
Till we lost all our crowns
But we'll never grow old
We were only kids yet we had wide eyes and big dreams
With no ambitions of growing out of this scene
I miss staying up all night and hanging out with all my best friends
Singing all our favorite songs
We'd bike out to the point and then we lay under the stars
Can we take back
All those years we have wasted
Growing up missing what we left behind
We were so free
We were the kings of this town
Till we lost all our crowns
But we'll never grow old
Can we take back all those years we wasted growing up and missing out on all we've left behind
Don't forget the late nights and the love that we had
For the crazy days back when the world was ours to take
Can we take back
All those years we have wasted
Growing up missing what we left behind
We were so free
We were the kings of this town
Till we lost all our crowns
But we'll never grow old
We were so young
There was so much to see
I remember sneaking out the window
Tearing through the neighborhood and hitting up our favorite spots and make out lots
The world was just so big to us
We never did what we were told
We lived our lives like we would never die
Can we take back
All those years we have wasted
Growing up missing what we left behind
We were so free
We were the kings of this town
Till we lost all our crowns
But we'll never grow old
We were only kids yet we had wide eyes and big dreams
With no ambitions of growing out of this scene
I miss staying up all night and hanging out with all my best friends
Singing all our favorite songs
We'd bike out to the point and then we lay under the stars
Can we take back
All those years we have wasted
Growing up missing what we left behind
We were so free
We were the kings of this town
Till we lost all our crowns
But we'll never grow old
Can we take back all those years we wasted growing up and missing out on all we've left behind
Don't forget the late nights and the love that we had
For the crazy days back when the world was ours to take
Can we take back
All those years we have wasted
Growing up missing what we left behind
We were so free
We were the kings of this town
Till we lost all our crowns
But we'll never grow old
