When we were young We wore hearts on our sleeves Innocent and 16 We were never bothered By the thought these days would ever leave So we laughed all day And we talked all night At the football games Under Friday lights So young and dumb we had our fun But now these days are fading fast Let's make this last So be mine tonight We won't live like this forever Be mine tonight We could stay like this together 'Cuz I want it And you need it So let's live before it's over Be mine tonight When we get old We'll look back and we'll laugh At all the times we had When we switched our folders On that exam in Mr. Fenton's class Or our first kiss on that field trip We snuck out just like kids So young and dumb we had our fun So be mine tonight We won't live like this forever Be mine tonight We could stay like this together 'Cuz I want it And you need it So let's live before it's over Be mine tonight Instead of watching time go by And sit around and wonder why We never gave it our all When we got it right now And all the days and night we spent And memories we won't regret So stop wasting the time And start living right now Right now So be mine tonight We won't live like this forever Be mine tonight We could stay like this together 'Cuz I want it And you need it So let's live before it's over Be mine tonight
