When we were young
We wore hearts on our sleeves
Innocent and sixteen
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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause I want it
And you need it
So let's live before it's over
Be mine tonight
