When We Were Young Lyrics

When we were young the world seemed so old
Careless and cold,
we did what we were toldin our lives
When we were young

Had the world by the tail
Good would prevail
Starships setsail
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
Travellingat 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 offaith
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
Beingold 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
