1. "New Americana," Halsey
"Survival of the richest,
The city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound,
But we don't feel like outsiders at all."
2. "Anything Could Happen," Ellie Goulding
"I'll give you everything you need
But I don't think I need you."
3. "Bitchin' Summer," Avril Lavinge
"Everyone is waiting on the bell.
Couple of seconds, we'll be raising hell.
Sun is shining down, school is finally out,
And nothing matters so we might as well."
4. "New Romantics," Taylor Swift
"We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything.
We wait for trains that just aren't coming.
We show off our different scarlet letters
Trust me, mine is better."
5. "Run Away With Me," Carly Rae Jepsen
"Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
I'll find your lips in the streetlights
I wanna be there with you."
6. "Welcome To Mystery," Plain White T's
"Imagine a place you can always escape to
An island off the coast of nowhere
A new destination of your own creation
Just waiting 'till you choose to go there."
7. "Summertime," My Chemical Romance
"And if you stay, I would even wait all night
Or until my heart explodes.
How long until we find our way
Through the dark and out of harm
You can run away with me any time you want."
8. "Girls Chase Boys," Ingrid Michaelson
"All the broken hearts in the world still beat
Let's not make it harder than it has to be
It's all the same thing
Girls chase boys, chase girls."
9. "Roman Holiday," Halsey
"We'll be looking for sunlight
Or the headlights 'till our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be lacing the same shoes that we've worn through
To the bottom of the line."
10. "Summertime Sadness," Lana Del Rey
"I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feeling alive."
11. "Here's To Never Growing Up," Avril Lavinge
"We live like rockstars
Dance on every bar
This is who we are
I don't think we'll ever change."
12. "Sleeping With A Friend," Neon Trees
"All my friends, they're different people
Anxious like the ocean in a storm
When we go out, yeah we're electric
Coursing through our bodies 'til we're one."
13. "Some Nights," Fun.
"Some nights I stay up, cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I'd wish they'd just fall off."
14. "Bulletproof Heart," My Chemical Romance
"How can they say
'Jenny could you come back home?'
Cause everybody knows you don't ever want to come back
Let me be the one to save you."
15. "The Night Is Still Young," Nicki Minaj
"I never worry, life is a journey
I just wanna enjoy the ride
What is the hurry, it's pretty early
It's okay, we'll take our time."
16. "Airplanes," B.O.B and Hayley Williams
"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now."
17. "Riptide," Vance Joy
"There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and head to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf."
18. "She Looks So Perfect," 5 Seconds of Summer
"I found myself alone just thinking about
Showing up with a plane ticket,
And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it.
Would you want to run away too? Cause all I really want is you."
19. "Classic," MKTO
"Girl you're shining
Like a Fifth Avenue diamond
They don't make you like they used to
You're never going out of style."
20. "Shut Up And Dance," Walk The Moon
"A backless dress and some beat up sneaks
My discotheque Juliet teenage dream
I felt it in my chest when she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together."
21. "Uptown Funk," Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
"Stylin', wilin',
Livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty!"
22. "All Summer Long," The Beach Boys
"Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills
When we rode the horse we got some thrills
Every now and then we hear our song
We've been having fun all summer long."
23. "Cool for The Summer," Demi Lovato
"Tell me if it's wrong, if it's right
I don't care, I can keep a secret
Can you?"
