[Verse 1]
They say youth is wasted, wasted on the young
So then they tell me, why are we having so much fun?
All the midnight dreamers falling into love
In our torn up sneakers, yeah we were born to run
So I'm begging you
[Chorus 1]
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
Hang on, hang on
Cause it's going so soon
So let's get it while we're young
(We're wasted youth)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we're bored and jaded
Sharin' bubble gum
But these nights are sacred
There's freedom in our blood
So I'm begging you
[Chorus 2]
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
(We're diamonds in the rough)
Hang on, hang on
Cause it's going so soon
(Let's get it while we're young)
And shine on, cause we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
(You know you know the truth)
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
Let's get it while we're young
Let's get it while we're young
[Bridge]
Let's go
Let's get stupid right now
Get to fooling around
Jump in the pool with your clothes on
Sleep in your shoes and on the futon
Cuz all we got is right now, so we're makin' it count
Roll down the windows and scream it
Let's get it while we're young
[Chorus 2]
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
(We're diamonds in the rough)
Hang on, hang on
Cause it's going so soon
(Let's get it while we're young)
And shine on, cause we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
(You know you know the truth)
Hold on, hold on
To your wasted youth
Let's get it while we're young
[Outro to fade]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted
Let's get it while we're young
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Let's get it while we're young
Yeah
Let's get it while we're young
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted, we're wasted
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted, we're wasted
Ah, ah, ah, ah
We're wasted, we're wasted
