Lyrics
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.
We took time to see the Sun
Crossing rivers as we’d run
Chasing birds down by the lake in the mud
We would climb up in the trees
Up high among the leaves
We were wild and we were free when we were young
But now we’re older
And we feel the world at our feet
As time turns we drift away
Wish we were young again
We built castles in the sand
Felt like emperors of the land
Making walls to stop the waves from coming up
We found joy in little things
Like imaginary scenes
Oh I miss the way we were when we were young
But now we’re older
And we feel the world at our feet
As time turns we drift away
And oh how time flies
Then you realize forgotten dreams
Got lost along the way
Wish we were young again
Wish we were young again
But there’s still so much to see in this life in front of me
Like pages of a book still unturned
We could sail the seven seas
Even raise a family
We could dream just like we did when we were young
‘Cause now we’re older
And we feel the world at our feet
As time turns we drift away
And oh how time flies
Then you realise forgotten dreams
Got lost along the way
Wish we were young again
Wish we were young again
