When We Were Young (On and On) Lyrics by ​owenokay

When We Were Young (On and On)

2024

[Verse 1]
You wake in the night to see
Your rooms empty
Cause I left to let you sleep
I just couldn't stand to be
On your second string
So I left to let you breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want
Is to be number one
Cause being second best
Will never do
[Chorus]
On and on
It goes on and on and on
I think about where we went wrong
I think about it all day long and on and on
These days it seems I live in our memories
And think of how it used to be
When we were young
It goes on and on and on
[Verse 2]
Time flies by it’s June
And your crowds brand new
So they sing they sing for you
And where am I you think
Of what it used to be
And I hope you know
That the memory stings
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want
Is to be number one
Cause being second best
Will never do
[Chorus]
On and on
It goes on and on and on
I think about where we went wrong
I think about it all day long and on and on
These days it seems I live in our memories
And think of how it used to be
When we were young
It goes on and on and on
