When We Were Young Lyrics by Reliant Tom

2021

[Verse 1]
I guess you could smile even if you hadn't felt good for a while
I guess you could laugh even though you're only half there
I guess you could sing even though your hands are shaking
I guess you could speak even though your future looks so bleak
I guess you could love even though it's never enough
I guess you could dream even though you don't know what it means
I miss my family
Think they'll forgive me?
I miss the green, green river with the water that looks like silver in your eyes
[Chorus]
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
[Verse 2]
I guess you could follow even though inside you are hollow
I guess you could lead even though you know you're the one in need
I guess you could trust even though some days it's a total bust
I guess you could grow even though the more you learn, the less you know
I guess you could hope even though it looks like a sinking boat
I guess you could mope and say that's all she wrote
I'll miss the schoolyard where we would try so hard
I miss the possibility of you and me
[Chorus]
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
[Verse 3]
I guess you could fly even though you're afraid of heights
I guess you could quit even though you know you could do it
I guess you could freak even though you're not past your peak
I guess you could curse even though things could be worse
I miss the holiday when we'd get away
I miss the living room and birthday balloons
[Outro]
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
