When We Were Young
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.
Back in 87
Back when life was small
Oh I always knew
When we were young
Questions went unanswered
Doubts were pushed aside
'Cause we always knew
When we were young
Honestly, we could see
Everything was clear
Nothing ever bothered me
That's how it appeared
Rides in cars and beer cans
Seemed to just roll by
'Cause we always knew
When we were young
Making out behind the school
Making out we're fine
'Cause we always knew
When we were young
Honestly, we could see
Everything was clear
Nothing ever bothered me
That's how it appeared
Try to get that feeling
Of knowing what to do
'Cause we always knew
When we were young
Yes we always knew
When we were young
Oh we always knew
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
