[Verse 1] We shed tears for movie scenes No real fears fake feelings It’s a sentimental wasteland We’re young enough to lose teeth But not old enough for enemies Still steering with both hands [Chorus] We were just kids living young and naïve Running round streets like the King and the Queen Gas light flicker in your eye what are hopeless dreams? Staying out waiting ’til they call off the search Chewing gum cherry coke until our brains burned A sugar drunk high we were the only ones oh [Verse 2] The bitter taste of nicotine Still alive on my coat and jeans But you were the light that I saw standing in front of the sun You were the girl on the hill singing all night all night [Chorus] We were just kids living young and naïve Running round streets like the King and the Queen Gas light flicker in your eye what are hopeless dreams? Staying out waiting ’til they call off the search Chewing gum cherry coke until our brains burned A sugar drunk high we were the only ones [Refrain] Maybe never be found Like a drop in the ocean If we ever grow up                     N.C. We’ll be gone in the moment [Bridge] Sugar drunk high Sugar drunk high Sugar drunk high We were living on a Sugar drunk high Sugar drunk high Sugar drunk high Sugar drunk high [Chorus] We were just kids living young and naïve Running round streets like the King and the Queen Gas light flicker in your eye what are hopeless dreams? Staying out waiting ’til they call off the search Chewing gum cherry coke until our brains burned A sugar drunk high we were the only ones [Refrain] Maybe never be found Like a drop in the ocean If we ever grow up We’ll be gone in the moment

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une jeunesse insouciante, pleine d'énergie et de rêves. Elle parle de moments simples mais précieux, comme courir dans les rues avec une amie, se sentir invincible comme des rois et des reines, et savourer des plaisirs éphémères. Les images de nostalgie et d'insouciance se mêlent à un sentiment de légèreté, illustrant le contraste entre l'innocence de l'enfance et le poids des réalités à venir. Le contexte semble se situer dans cette période de transition entre l'enfance et l'âge adulte, où l'on ressent encore cette magie de la jeunesse tout en étant confronté aux difficultés de grandir. Les détails, comme le goût du chewing-gum ou les nuits passées à chanter, rappellent à quel point ces instants peuvent sembler à la fois éphémères et précieux.
