When We Were Young Lyrics

[Intro]
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 1]
Funny how things just tasted better
When we were young, when we were young
Funny how things just seemed so easy
When we were young

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long day, it's been a long day
It's been a long day, it's been a long day

[Chorus]
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
Is anything better than you on the phone?
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
Is anything better than you on the phone?

[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 2]
I think that we weren't always grateful
For what you've done when we were young
I think that we weren't always grateful
For what you've done
[Pre-Chorus]
We've come a long way, we've come a long way
We've come a long way, we've come a long way

[Chorus]
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
Is anything better than you on the phone?
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
Is anything better than you on the phone?

[Bridge]
You on the phone
You on the phone
You on the phone

[Chorus]
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
Is anything better than you on the phone?
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
I wanna feel better, can't make it alone
I wanna get out, I wanna go home
Is anything better than you on the phone?

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
