What if
What if we run away
What if
What if we left today
What if
We say goodbye to safe and sound
What if
What if we’re hard to find
What if
What if we lost our minds
What if
We looked and fall behind and then never found

And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
And the stars exploding
We’ll be fireproof

My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
A truth so loud you can’t ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours

What if
What if we start to drive
What if
What if we close our eyes
What if
Speeding through red lights into paradise
'Cause we get no time for getting old
Before our bodies turn to stones
Cross your fingers, here we go
Oh, oh, oh

And when the lights are flashing like a photobooth
And the stars exploding
We’ll be fireproof

My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
A truth so loud you can’t ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
My youth is yours

My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
A truth so loud you can’t ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
Oh, oh, oh
My youth is yours
Oh, oh, oh
My youth is yours
