Half Our Lives

I want every second of the minutes in the hours of these days
‘Cause there’s too many trees climb and secret spots to find down by the lake
The fireflies are out, momma’s calling now

We can’t go to sleep ‘cause we’ll wake up older
We can’t let these nights steal away half our lives

And we will spend our days finding helpless competition to defeat
Yeah, we’ll chase away the girls and pretend that we don’t want ‘em on our street
The sun is running too, being chased off by the moon
We should go bed, but we’ll catch fireflies instead

We can’t go to sleep ‘cause we’ll wake up older
We can’t let these nights steal away
I don’t want these days to ever be over
We can’t let these nights just steal away

So stay awake with me
