When We Were Us
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were young, unafraid
We were finding our own way
There is no wind, there is no rain
In the eye of the hurricane
Every time you climb that mountain
There’s another one left to climb
Don’t go looking for tomorrow
Leaving yesterday behind
Writing every page together
Those days were not to last forever
Diamonds in the rough
When we were us
Burn the house and torch the skyline
There was more than fire in my eyes
Love meant more than lust
When we were us
We were one, born and raised
More than blood runs through these veins
Cuts can heal, scars will fade
What we had will never change
Seasons pass and time will move on
You don’t ever have to let it go
You can go only so far now
Till you're on your way back home
Writing every page together
Those days were not to last forever
Diamonds in the rough
When we were us
Burn the house and torch the skyline
There was more than fire in our eyes
Love meant more than lust
When we were us
Memories are nothing more than ghost that we let in
Don’t be afraid of them, do you remember when
Writing every page together
Those days were not to last forever
Diamonds in the rough
When we were us
Burn the house and torch the skyline
There was more than fire in our eyes
Love meant more than lust
When we were us
When we were us
