Thinking, we don't want to get caught up in over thinking
We only got tonight
Moments, we gotta keep on living for these moments,
'Cause this is our time
Life's too short to sit and wait
For love to come our way
Light it up like fireworks
I wanna hear you say
We are we are
We are alive, and we have the light shining down
We are we are, we are the reckless
You can hear us drowning of the sound
We are we are, young and dumb
Always chasing something
We are we are, hearts like drums
You can hear us coming
We are we are
Chances, you know there's nothing wrong with taking chances
We put it on the line
Oh, someday I know we're gonna be somebody someday
Only gotta try
Life's too short to sit and wait
For love to come our way
Light it up like fireworks
I wanna hear you say
We are alive, and we have the light shining down
We are we are, we are the reckless
You can hear us drowning of the sound
We are we are, young and dumb
Always chasing something
We are we are, hearts like drums
You can hear us coming
We are we are
We are alive, and we have the light shining down
We are we are, we are the reckless
You can hear us drowning of the sound
We are we are, young and dumb
Always chasing something
We are we are, hearts like drums
You can hear us coming
We are we are
