[Intro] Singin' Radiohead at the top of our lungs With the boombox blarin' as we're fallin' in love Got a bottle of whatever, but it’s gettin' us drunk Singin' "Here's to never growing up" [Verse 1] Call up all our friends Go hard this weekend For no damn reason I don't think we'll ever change Meet you at the spot Half past ten o'clock We don't ever stop And we're never gonna change [Pre-Chorus] Say, won't you say forever? Stay, if you stay forever Hey, we can stay forever young [Chorus] Singin' Radiohead at the top of our lungs With the boombox blarin' as we're fallin' in love Got a bottle of whatever, but it’s gettin' us drunk Singin' "Here's to never growing up" We'll be running down the street yelling "Kiss my ass" I'm like yeah, whatever, we’re still living like that When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups Singin' "Here's to never growing up" [Post-Chorus] Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (Here's to never growing up) Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (Here's to never growing up) [Verse 2] We live like rock stars Dance on every bar This is who we are I don't think we'll ever change (Hell no) They say "Just grow up" But they don't know us We don't give a fuck And we're never gonna change [Pre-Chorus] Say, won't you say forever? Stay, if you stay forever Hey, we can stay forever young [Chorus] Singin' Radiohead at the top of our lungs With the boombox blarin' as we're fallin' in love Got a bottle of whatever, but it’s gettin' us drunk Singin' "Here's to never growing up" We'll be running down the street yelling "Kiss my ass" I'm like yeah, whatever, we’re still living like that When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups Singin' "Here's to never growing up" [Post-Chorus] Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (Here's to never growing up) Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (Here's to never growing up) [Pre-Chorus] Say, won't you say forever? Stay, if you stay forever Hey, we can stay forever young [Chorus] (Oh) Singin' Radiohead at the top of our lungs With the boombox blarin' as we're fallin' in love Got a bottle of whatever, but it’s gettin' us drunk Singin' "Here's to never growing up" We'll be running down the street yelling "Kiss my ass" I'm like yeah, whatever, we’re still living like that (Like that) When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups Singin' "Here's to never growing up" [Post-Chorus] Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (Here's to never growing up) Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (So raise your glass and say) Cheers to never growing up [Outro] Oh-whoa, oh-whoa (Here's to never growing up) No, we're never growing up Oh-whoa, oh-whoa Here's to never growing up
