[Verse 1]
Staring back in time
The two of us, intertwined
And your black boots
Walking fast, next to mine
We were chasing the thunder inside the storm
Running so wild outside the norm
And what remains
The two of us, against the grain

[Pre-Chorus]
Come out, come out, wherever you are
I know you're there, I know you are

[Chorus]
They called us crazy 'cause we never fit in
We never bothered keeping up with their trends
It didn't matter that we weren't on the list
'Cause we were misfits, we were misfits

[Verse 2]
Staying up all night
Drinking more than we should, getting way too high
When the sun came through
I watched you laugh, I saw you cry
'Cause the world has a way of tearing you down
Keeps you tied to the circus, paints you up like a clown
But I'm right here
Day after day, year after year

[Pre-Chorus]
So come out, come out, wherever you are
I know you're there, I know you are

[Chorus]
They called us crazy 'cause we never fit in
We never bothered keeping up with their trends
It didn't matter that we weren't on the list
'Cause we were misfits, we were misfits

[Chorus 2]
And after all we never played by the rules
We broke them all and found our own kind of cool
It didn't matter that we weren't on the list
'Cause we were misfits, we were misfits

[Bridge]
Don't wait up, don't wait up
Don't wait up, don't wait up
Don't wait up, don't wait up
We're long gone

[Chorus]
They called us crazy 'cause we never fit in
We never bothered keeping up with their trends
It didn't matter that we weren't on the list
'Cause we were misfits, we were misfits

[Chorus 2]
And after all we never played by the rules
We broke them all and found our own kind of cool
It didn't matter that we weren't on the list
'Cause we were misfits, we were misfits

[Outro]
Don't wait up, don't wait up
Don't wait up, don't wait up
We're long gone
