When We Were Young Lyrics

When we were young, the world felt so small
When we were young, nothing could break us apart
Do you know your eyes are like stars?
Summer nights, making out in my car

When we were young
Are you still loud and free like every other?
When we were young
Nothing's too fast 'cause we explode together
When we were young
Do you still think of me like maybe ever?
When we were young
Losing something we had when we were younger

Back in the day we used to say "fuck them all"
Prodigal sons, were second to none, they gave me a job
Now I'm stuck at work like a typical jerk with nowhere to go
We fell out of touch, now everything sucks, I'm out on my own

When we were young
Are you still loud and free like every other?
When we were young
Nothing's too fast 'cause we explode together
When we were young
Do you still think of me like maybe ever?
When we were young
Losing something we had when we were younger

When we were young
Are you still loud and free like every other?
When we were young
Nothing's too fast 'cause we explode together
When we were young
Do you still think of me like maybe ever?
When we were young
Losing something we had when we were younger
