Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Clock is ticking on the wall Staring down the empty hall Teacher’s sleeping in his chair Stale coffee in the air Check the window, see the light Sky is looking blue and bright (Blue and bright!) [Pre-Chorus] One look is all it took Close the heavy history book Tie your laces, grab your bag We don't need a hall pass tag (No tag!) [Chorus] Run until our lungs are burning Feel the whole wide world is turning Ditching all the gray and gloom Escaping from that quiet room Meet me at the lakeside dock Throwing stones and ticking clocks (Ticking clocks!) Everything feels earth-shaking This is history in the making [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, sixteen and stolen Oh-oh, the golden hour’s open (It’s open!) [Verse] Ukulele in the trunk Leaving all that schoolwork junk Muddy sneakers, messy hair Hands up in the summer air (In the air!) Sarah’s laughing way too loud Dancing through the fading cloud (Fading cloud!) [Bridge] They say these years are just a phase Lost inside a purple haze But every splash and every spark Is lighting up the coming dark We’re defiant, we’re a mess Better than a perfect dress (So much better!) [Hook] Clap your hands, feel the beat Dancing on our own two feet (Two feet!) Glockenspiel and sunset glow Nowhere else we’d rather go [Chorus] Run until our lungs are burning Feel the whole wide world is turning Ditching all the gray and gloom Escaping from that quiet room Meet me at the lakeside dock Throwing stones and ticking clocks (Ticking clocks!) Everything feels earth-shaking This is history in the making [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, sixteen and stolen Oh-oh, the golden hour’s open (It’s open!) [Outro]
