We were lovers for the first time Running all the red lights The middle finger was our peace sign, yeah We were sipping on emotions Smoking and inhaling every moment It was reckless and we owned it, yeah, yeah We were high and we were sober We were under, we were over We were young and now I'm older But I'd do it all again Getting drunk on a train track Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes (oh) Ten dollars was a fat stack I'd do it all again (oh) Bomber jacket and a snapback Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach (oh) "Re: Stacks" on the playback I'd do it all again (oh) We were lovers on a wild ride Speeding for the finish line Come until the end of our time, yeah Started off as a wildfire Burning down the bridges to our empire Our love was something they could admire, yeah, yeah We were high and we were sober We were under, we were over We were young and now I'm older But I'd do it all again Getting drunk on a train track Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes (oh) Ten dollars was a fat stack I'd do it all again (oh) Bomber jacket and a snapback Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach (oh) "Re: Stacks" on the playback I'd do it all again (oh) Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh Speed speed, speed speed oh oh Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh Speed speed, speed speed oh oh Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh Speed speed, speed speed oh oh Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh Speed speed, speed speed oh oh Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
