You and I could run away
And find a place to hide someday
But I wouldn't blame you if you wanted more
So, let's pretend it's just you and me here
The town we're in can disappear
We'll grab the sheets and build ourselves a fort
Then we'll watch the rain fall
And sit up on our roof
'Cause it's the perfect night
To be here in our youth
Stress has got the best of me
A party's all I really need
Let's make the calls
And meet at someone's pad
The friends are good
Their booze is too
I'll finally sit and talk to you
And find all the things in common that we have
Tomorrow we'll talk about the things
That we wish we didn't do
'Cause it's the perfect night
To be here in our youth
And I've heard that there will come
A time in our lives
When our worth is measured
In gold and dimes
But when young is just another word
For reckless and amused
It's the perfect night
To be here in our youth
So raise your cup
Let's not regret
The things we never did or said
It's strange to think it won't be this for long
So make your toast
Don't brag or boast
No decency is for the old
We're learning what is right
And that we're wrong
And we'll measure our success
By the bottles we go through
Cause it's a perfect night to
Be here in our youth
It's a perfect night to
Be here in our youth
It's a perfect night to
Be here in our youth
