we flew rockest to the moon
never leaving the van
it was simple, it was stupid
but it was something we could have
along the daybreak rode the starlight
we waited to see
as we smoke and drank under the apple tree
and sang
oh, I know one day we'll be out of this town
and into the city we'll go-go-go
i know they keep us down for long
and nobody said it'd be easy
and I know it won't be
when in photos photos
we seem hollow hollow
we're just invisible
And in phone calls, phone calls
we seem shallow, shallow
we're just predictable
I'm afraid that i just might forget
everything that I felt
On that quiet autumn night
I was sitting by myself
along the daybreak rode the starlight
I waited to be
as I climbed up high into the apple tree
and sang
oh, I know one day we'll be out of this town
and into the city we'll go-go-go
i know they keep us down for long
and nobody said it'd be easy
and I know it won't be
when in photos photos
we seem hollow hollow
we're just invisible
And in phone calls, phone calls
we seem shallow, shallow
we're just predictable
But we're only kids for once
we're only kids
we gotta keep the stars shinin'
gotta' keep em' shinin' on
we're only kids yaknow?
we're only kids
we gotta keep our stars shin in'
gotta' keep em' shinin' on
