[Intro] [Verse 1] Backpack slung, past the rusted school gate Chalk dust whispers linger, a decade too late Your old sneakers scuff the halls we once knew Echoes of our cheers paint the skyline blue [Pre-Chorus] We traced constellations on notebook pages Now the stars hum along to our teenage rages Guitar strings hum, a rhythm we chase Footsteps syncopate in this timeless space [Chorus] Oh-oh, laugh louder than the bell’s last ring Oh-oh, pinky promises and stolen guitar strings We’re the flickering film reel, neon and unseen Dancing through the credits of a half-written dream [Verse 2] Summer breeze sneaks through the cracked window frame Your laugh’s a riff looping in yesterday’s refrain Desks carved with secrets, half-erased by time Doodle monsters waltz in margins of our prime [Pre-Chorus] We swapped lunchbox tales for mixtape confessions Drumbeats stitch the seams of our unfinished questions The stage lights dim, but our shadows collide A symphony of chaos we wear with pride [Chorus] Oh-oh, scream louder than the teacher’s sighs Oh-oh, firefly wishes caught in cassette skies We’re the off-key chorus, fearless and unposed Chasing sunset buses down roads we barely know [Bridge] The final bell’s a lie—we’re still here, still alive Fading graffiti hums, “Keep this flame alive” Your hand finds mine as the amplifiers roar We rewrite endings through the exit door [Chorus] Oh-oh, laugh louder than the world’s white noise Oh-oh, scraped-knee ballads and untuned joys We’re the backbeat echo, raw and unrefined Youth’s a stolen chord—play it one more time [Outro]
