[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 bellâs last ring
Oh-oh, pinky promises and stolen guitar strings
Weâre 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 laughâs a riff looping in yesterdayâs 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 teacherâs sighs
Oh-oh, firefly wishes caught in cassette skies
Weâre the off-key chorus, fearless and unposed
Chasing sunset buses down roads we barely know
[Bridge]
The final bellâs a lieâweâre still here, still alive
Fading graffiti hums, âKeep this flame aliveâ
Your hand finds mine as the amplifiers roar
We rewrite endings through the exit door
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, laugh louder than the worldâs white noise
Oh-oh, scraped-knee ballads and untuned joys
Weâre the backbeat echo, raw and unrefined
Youthâs a stolen chordâplay it one more time
[Outro]
