[Verse 1]
Alarm at noon
Same old hoodie
Ripped at the sleeve
Skateboard scars
From one more trick I swore I would leave
Bus stop crowd
I’m humming doubts under my breath
Counting change
Like I’m buying back the time I spent

[Chorus]
Weekend bruises
Still I choose it
Falling just to feel I move
Every scratch a small confession
Every shout a little proof
If the world keeps trying to lose us
We’ll tattoo our names in truth
Weekend bruises
Weekend bruises
That’s how I remember youth

[Verse 2]
Late-night store
Cheap black coffee
Stickered guitar
Parking lot stage
You hit the drums like breaking a jar
Three chords in
And suddenly my chest feels light
Kids jump in
We turn our fear into a fistful of sky

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[gang vocals] We’re not fine
But we’re still here
Kicked around
But we stay weird
Laughing hard with split-up lips
Middle fingers
Chapped-up fists (hey!)

[Chorus]
