When We Were Young Lyrics by We the Kings

2022

[Chorus:]
Lets spend the summer on the road, just driving
Screaming the words to every song we sung
When we were young, yeah
When we were young, when we were young
[Verse 1:]
Lets take a fast car
Something that's shiny and we know will take us so far
Something electric that can really fly
And we'll drive all night, yeah
Until the sunrise, we'll stop for coffee
And we'll sing along the whole time
The pure emotion, yeah
We bottle it up, just to drink it up today
[Pre-Chorus:]
No, no, don't you say no, no
Don't you say no, no
Don't you say no, no, no
[Chorus:]
Lets spend the summer on the road, just driving
Screaming the words to every song we sung
When we were young, yeah
When we were young, when we were
[Post-Chorus:]
Just teenage runaways with no way home, but
We'll be together just the way it was
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young, when we were young
[Verse 2:]
And for the first time
We'll feel connection that is more than just a phone line
Something that's real enough
That we'll call faith, as we leave this day, oh
When will we get there?
I hope it's never but we have to end up somewhere
Just like the movies at the final scene
Where we hate to see it end
[Pre-Chorus:]
No, no, don't you say no, no
Don't you say no, no
Don't you say no, no, no
[Chorus:]
Lets spend the summer on the road, just driving
Screaming the words to every song we sung
When we were young, yeah
When we were young, when we were
[Post-Chorus:]
Just teenage runaways with no way home, but
We'll be together just the way it was
When we were young, when we were young
When we were young, when we were young
[Outro:]
(No, no, don't you say no, no)
When we were young
When we were young, when we were young
(No, no, don't you say no no)
When we were young, when we were young
(No, no, don't you say no no)
When we were young, when we were young
