It's a jay thing

[Intro – crunchy guitar riff, snare roll] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – bouncy bassline, rapid strummed guitar] We skip the lines and take the backstreet Crank the radio till the speakers heat Wear our scuffed up shoes like they're a crown No plan, no map, just chasing the sound [Pre-Chorus – building guitar layers, quick hi-hats] They don't get the way we laugh till we cry Or why we stay up till the morning sky It's not about the rules we break It's the fire we keep awake [Chorus 1 – full band, catchy vocal hook] It's a Jay thing, you wouldn't understand Late-night drives and a worn-out hand Grabbing fries at the corner stand Living loud, taking a stand It's a Jay thing, no need to explain Stained hoodies and a constant rain We're the ones who do it our way Yeah, it's a Jay thing, every single day [Post-Chorus – wordless "whoa-oh" vocals, guitar riff] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – playful guitar licks, steady drum beat] We doodle notes on the back of a receipt Sing off-key to our favorite beat Borrow change for a soda can Talk about the world like we hold the plan [Pre-Chorus 2 – intensified guitar, faster hi-hats] They stare at us like we're out of our minds But we don't care 'bout their wasted time It's not about the clothes we wear It's the joy we always share [Chorus 2 – layered vocals, heavier drum crash] It's a Jay thing, you wouldn't understand Midnight walks in the summer sand Stealing glances at the streetlight's glow Never letting the good times go It's a Jay thing, no need to explain Scraped up knees and a silly name We're the ones who light up the gray Yeah, it's a Jay thing, every single day [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocals] We'll grow up but we won't let go Of the spark that makes us whole No matter where the road may bend We'll still be us till the end [Solo – distorted guitar, fast-paced shredding] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band, maximum energy, gang vocals] It's a Jay thing, you wouldn't understand Late-night talks and a broken plan Dancing like we own the land Living free, taking a stand It's a Jay thing, no need to explain Chipped nail polish and a wild refrain We're the ones who do it our way Yeah, it's a Jay thing, every single day [Outro – fading guitar riff, final snare hit] It's a Jay thing, yeah It's a Jay thing, always
