lyrics

Pile into the car in the middle of the night.
Everyone’s coming along so pack in tight.
We might be the only ones awake in this whole town.
The hottest night of the year with the windows rolled down.

Running through the forest lit by the moon
Don’t know where we’re going I don’t care if we get there soon
Following the voices of friends with a towel in my hand
For the first time in my life I think I understand

And it happened so fast
We don’t need permission
We don’t want to stop
And think things through

Exploding the past
Yeah, we’re on a mission
Forgetting the future
To make this one moment true

A shimmering sliver of silver fades into sight.
It’s the moon shining down on water on a perfect night
It’s brighter down here by the lake than it was in the trees
And for the first time in my life I don’t care who sees.

And it happened so fast
We don’t need permission
We don’t want to stop
And think things through

Exploding the past
Yeah, we’re on a mission
Forgetting the future
To make this one moment true

Back up, back up.
Get a running start.
Back up, back up.
This is the easy part.
(instrumental)

And it happened so fast
We don’t need permission
We don’t want to stop
And think things through

Exploding the past
Yeah, we’re on a mission
Forgetting the future
To make this one moment true
To make this one moment true
To make this one moment true
