[Verse 1]
Backseat of your dad’s old car
Counting every crack in the ceiling
Passed-out friends in the yard next door
You said
“Someday we’ll touch the ceiling”
Plastic cups
Cheap cologne on your shirt
You laughed so hard that it started to hurt
You were scared
I was too
But I swore I’d stand right next to you
[Pre-Chorus]
We were broke
We were loud
Way too young to calm down
Every “no” that we heard
Turned into a vow
[Chorus]
This is for the ones who stayed
When the whole world walked away
For the hearts that broke
But still beat strong
We were just kids singing one more song
Hands up high for the nights we lost
For the tears that paid the cost
Every scar we’re wearing all along
All of us in one song
All of us in one song (hey!)
[Verse 2]
First place you moved
That crooked room
Milk crates stacked as a dresser
Burnt toast
Late rent
Borrowed spoons
Laughing just to quiet the pressure
You called me up when it all fell through
Said
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do”
You were tired
So was I
We just stayed on the line all night
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear
Every doubt
We just kept on pouring out
Every crack in our voice
Turned into a shout
[Chorus]
This is for the ones who stayed
When the whole world walked away
For the hearts that broke
But still beat strong
We were just kids singing one more song
Hands up high for the nights we lost
For the tears that paid the cost
Every scar we’re wearing all along
All of us in one song
All of us in one song (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
If you’re out there shaking
In the dark back row
Feeling way too broken
To let anyone know
Sing it under your breath
Till your chest feels wide
Every word we never said
We’re shouting tonight
[Chorus]
This is for the ones who stayed
When the whole world walked away
For the hearts that broke
But still beat strong
We were just kids singing one more song
Hands up high for the nights we lost
For the tears that paid the cost
Every scar we’re wearing all along
All of us in one song
All of us in one song
(all of us, all of us)
All of us in one song
