When We Were Young

Do you remember? Back when
We fell in love in your best friends basement
Spun the bottle and hoped it would land on you
Thought we were cool, listening to Zeppelin
Making out on the stairway to heaven
Nowhere to go, so we slept out on the roof
But now, we hardly even speak, at all
Looking back, how did we get away?
I never thought that we'd surrender
When I was yours and you were mine
Never regret, no, we learned how to love
When we were young
Snuck out in your daddy's ride
At the drive in, making love for the first time
Forget the silver screen, it's a wonderful life
But now, we hardly even speak, at all
Looking back, how did we get away?
I never thought that we'd surrender
When I was yours and you were mine
Never regret, no, we learned how to love
When we were young and still together
No, there was nothing left to prove
Never regret no, we learned how to love
When we were young and reckless
Dumb and fearless
FIghting in the streets
Will you remember me?
Young forever, back then
Never knew the first love's the hardest
I never thought that we'd surrender
When I was yours and you were mine
Never regret, no, we learned how to love
When we were young and still together
No, there was nothing left to prove
Never regret no, we learned how to love
When we were young.
