Awesome pop punk track from We The Kings and Derek Sanders (of Mayday Parade fame).
Let's spend the summer on the road just driving (just driving)
Screaming the words to every song we sung
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young, when we were
Just teenage runaways with no way home but
We'll be together just the way it was
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young, when we were young ♪ ♫ ♪
Not a lot of covers come close to the original. This one does not surpass the original, but it tries to do it justice. I think it is a beautiful, somewhat modern version of the original. I especially like the part that leads to the bridge. Sharing all the lyrics because this song is that good.
And if you're only discovering this song today, you owe it to yourself to listen to the original from Coldplay.
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face, and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face, and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you ♪ ♫ ♪
Was so busy at work today learning about JavaScript Promises and Axios Interceptors. Didn't even get to listen to that much music today. But I have one more song to share before the day ends. This is a beautiful new find from We The Kings. Hope y'all have a good holiday weekend!
On gold streets, the dust sleeps
for you the flames still dance
The skies changed, a new day
are these the same two hands
I can see the fever breaking, I can feel the faith come home
Everything you've ever wanted
Stone walls will fall, young hearts will break
for so long we're so strong, we shine until we fade ♪ ♫ ♪
These nights were all I ever wanted
Hands down nothing's gonna top them
Standing in some crowded room
The only thing that I could see was you
These nights were all I ever needed
But they're gone and I'm picking up the pieces
Even when our days are through
I won't forget these nights I had with you ♪ ♫ ♪
I found a reason
And suddenly I'm not so alone
I'm finally breathing
Like I never could on my own
Start the countdown, let's get it on
Scream our lungs out to our favorite song
'Cause this is where I belong ♪ ♫ ♪
