Back when we weren't older dear Back when we were sober here On that hilltop where we'd run Where we'd take photographs crippled by the sun We Were Young Oh my God I've heard we're one But we were young and didn't know the significance But in that garden hind' your fathers house Our knees were soiled to the color of your blouse We Were Young
Oh We Were Younger We were told we'd always be younger (Oh, Oh, Oh) Did we ever love, were we just kids who knew nothing of it? And fearlessly I'd march that victory home And I'd stare at the ceiling then with the taste of cinnamon that begged to be left Alone Oh we were younger. We were told we'd always be younger. (Oh, Oh, oh)
