[Verse 1]
Monday morning, half awake,
Running late through the school front gate.
Coffee cups and worn-out shoes,
Talking about the weekend news.
We had homework we forgot to do,
Big dreams nobody else quite knew.
Every day felt slow back then,
Now I'd give anything to live it again.
[Pre-Chorus]
We were trying to find our place,
Growing up at our own pace.
Through every high and every fall,
We had each other through it all.
[Chorus]
We were made for nights like this,
Young and free with nothing to miss.
Dancing underneath the parking-lot lights,
Turning small-town days into the best of our lives.
With our hands in the air and hope in our hearts,
We were ready for wherever tomorrow would start.
We didn't know where the road would lead,
But we believed,
Yeah, we believed
We were made for this.
[Verse 2]
Friday games and cheering crowds,
Our school song playing strong and loud.
Passing glances across the room,
A first love ending way too soon.
We made promises after class
That nothing between us would ever change fast.
But every season has to turn,
And every goodbye is a lesson learned.
[Bridge]
When the years move on
And the faces change,
When the streets we knew
Don't look the same,
We'll hear this song
And remember when
We had the whole world waiting
Just around the bend.
[Final Chorus]
We were made for nights like this,
One last dance and one last wish.
Standing together beneath those lights,
Trying to hold on to the time of our lives.
With our caps in the air and tears in our eyes,
We said, "This isn't over - it's only goodbye."
We didn't know where the road would lead,
But we believed,
And we still believe
We were made for this.
[Outro]
Those school-day halls, those hometown dreams,
Made us stronger than we ever believed.
No matter where this life may lead,
A part of us will always be seventeen.
