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
