When We Were Young lyrics

When we were young the world seemed so old

Careless and cold, we did what we were told in our lives

When we were young

Had the world by the tail

Good would prevail

Starships set sail

And none of us would fail in this life

Not when you're young

We were drawn to whoever

Could keep us together

And bound by the heavens above

And we tried to survive

Traveling at the speed of love

Whoa

When we were young

When we adored the fabulous

Whoa

When we were young

We were the foolish fearless

Never knowing the cost of what we paid

Letting someone else be strong

Whoa

When we were young

In the moment of grace

A long leap of faith

There's still more glory stored away

It's my life

I'm here with the lovers

And we burn the bridges we're crossing over

Just to see the firelight

And the innocent are getting over

Being old tonight

Whoa

When we were young

When everything was what it seemed

Whoa

When we were young

And every day was how we dreamed

Never knowing the cost of what we paid

Letting someone else be strong

Whoa

When we were young

And when you'll look at yourself tonight

Are you someone you recognize?

You can take back what you've given away

But it must be the last time

Whoa

When we were young

Whoa

When we were young

When we were young

Whoa

When we were young

When we adored the fabulous

Whoa

When we were young

We were the foolish fearless

Whoa

When we were young

We didn't know it wouldn't last

Whoa

When we were young
