Gary Barlow - When We Were Young lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] We were drawn to whoever Could keep us together And bound by the heavens above And we tried to survive Travelling at the speed of love [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] And we burn the bridges we're crossing over Just to see the firelight And the innocent are getting over Being old tonight [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
