we were only kids

you told your folks you were leaving

we hit the road that evening

the rusted key to the hotel

unlocked your heart and mine as well

from the curb to the backseats

and the streets to the bedsheets

getting kicks on the carpet

oh

baby

we were kidding ourselves alright

we were only kids last night

love

hope and the sweet taste of heartache

the lipstick heart around our names

from the bed that we dreamt in

to the cars that we slept in

getting kicks on the corner

we swore that we would never give up our life

'cause we were only kids last night

seatbelts and red lights

headboards and headlights

well

who said that youth's wasted on the young?

well

we're not gonna prove them right

yeah

we'll waste tomorrow

'cause we were only kids last night

throw your hair back to the wind

let those freckles set fire to your face

you can bury my bed

'cause i'll sleep when i'm dead

we're just one kiss away

from the kids that we were yesterday

'cause we were only kids last night

seatbelts and red lights

ooh

headboards and headlights

yeah

well

who said that youth's wasted on the young?

well

we're not gonna prove them right

yeah

we'll waste tomorrow

'cause we were only kids last night

eh

oh last night

eh

we were only kids last night
