Na, na, na, na

Car rides with the radio on, those were the days
Staying up late talking 'bout all our dreams
And all my friends are leaving town, I'm left behind
And late at night I think about when we were wild
'Cause we're scared of falling down sometimes
Sneaking out late and chasing highs
Thinking 'bout all those teenage lies
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Trying to break down these white fences
Being American and not giving a shit
Living for these summer nights
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Drinking Slurpees all day long, and hanging out
Didn't care what we did wrong, but that's over now
They keep telling me I gotta grow up, but what's the rush
For right now I'ma be alright, I'm just having fun
'Cause we're scared of falling down sometimes
Sneaking out late and chasing highs
Thinking 'bout all those teenage lies
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Trying to break down these white fences
Being American and not giving a shit
Living for these summer nights
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Those wasted years, those wasted years
'Cause we're scared of falling down sometimes
Sneaking out late and chasing highs
Thinking 'bout all those teenage lies
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Trying to break down these white fences
Being American and not giving a shit
Living for these summer nights
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Those wasted years, those wasted years
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Those wasted years, those wasted years
