lyrics

Why don't you and I ride our bikes in the rain late at night
With nothing but hair on our heads?
We can set off bottle rockets and the sparklers in our pockets
Because sleep is for the dead

And we can save our homework for tomorrow
If we remember to do it at all
And if we don't grow old too fast, we can make the good times last
Be stupid and naive and beautiful

So sneak out, get undressed, now we're under arrest
We can spend the night in jail
Won't they laugh, won't they cry, all your grandkids and mine
When we tell them of this tale

And we can save our homework for tomorrow
If we remember to do it at all
And if we don't grow old too fast, we can make the good times last
Be stupid and naive and beautiful

And if we leave our fears behind, then who knows what we'll find...
Buried treasure, arrowheads, broken arms, broken sleds, flying kites, water fights, things that go bump in the night, roasting s'mores, raising hell, climb the tower ring the bell, waterfall, cannonball, been there, seen it, done it all

And we can save our homework for tomorrow
If we remember to do it at all
And if we don't grow old too fast, we can make the good times last
Be stupid and naive and beautiful
