Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Remember when we had them all on the run And the night we saw midnight sun Remember saying things like "we'll sleep when we're dead" And thinking this feeling was never gonna end Remember when we had them all on the run And the night we saw midnight sun Remember saying things like "we'll sleep when we're dead" And thinking this feeling was never gonna end Remember that night you were already in bed, Said "f*ck it" got up to drink with me instead! Gimme that naked new skin rush Give me younger us Gimme that you and me in a grave trust Give me younger us Gimme that girls love running wild and free Give me younger us Gimme that boys out swimmin' through the streets Gimme that night you were already in bed, Said f*ck it got up to drink with me instead
