Polarizer (Just the Kids)

Do you think that it's true that you act like you do because you're not happy
Cause you're not happy
And do you want people to know that you're never alone
Because you're scared of their thoughts a little more than your own
Cause the movies are so bright
And the stars light up the sky
But not here
No, not here
But maybe as a critic, I'm a little too hard on myself
I leave reviews way too soon without taking it in
For all that it is
And maybe it's the first one without a budget
Got the characters at play, but they feel so static
Underwhelming
But you know they got heart
Cause I feel so alive, like a movie scene
Is this a movie
Movie, telling me to move me, telling me to move
But the faces that they choose never cease to amuse me, amuse like that
But it's no perfect scene
No this ain't no movie
I'm telling to me to move
But I'm feeling like apologizing just to say I'm sorry
I can't lose you, lose you
I know I'm going to lose
And it feels like I'm living off the drawers of my past
Or is it just that I'm afraid to grow up too fast
I wish the world could stop
The city never sleeps when my mind does
I think it's time to start again
Oh, how I hate the end, but I don't like this
I know it's not what I wanted
So let me put a polarizer
On my life like this
Here, the stars light up the sky
Got my sunroof open
Destinations a surprise
I've been waiting for this moment for a lifetime
Let's get the drums in
And put this car into drive

Yeah we're just the kids
Yeah we're just the kids
We're living our lives

Can we stay the same like this
It's a shame we throw those we don't kiss into photo albums
Now I wish I had them
And can you hold me and kiss me and say that you'll miss me
Cause by tomorrow you'll wish you were with me
And if this is our last night
Can we keep it going until the sunrise

Yeah, we're just the kids
Yeah, we're just the kids
We're living our lives
And you'll tell our story like a montage of highs
But we were just kids living the life
Driving in cars with nowhere to go
Let's take the side streets
I don't want to go home
We wished we were legal
We wished we were older
Now I wish we were shoulder to shoulder
Back in the car when we just got our license
Now our city feels like nothing but silence
So take my hand now, and I'll tell you the truth
We wished for a life they could sell in books
But I think it's sweet how we cursed all our weekends
How do you sleep when you're already dreaming

We're just the kids; we're living our lives
Sounds and vibrations, baby, all night
Forever, the sounds live on forever and ever
We're just the kids; we're living our lives
The sounds live on forever and ever

Yeah we're just the kids
Yeah we're just the kids
We're living our lives
