So let me begin,

On an old dirt track back home,

That we used to know,

Oh, when we were young.

Remember the days,

We were wild and on the run,

Carving our names,

Oh, when we were young.

When we were young,

We were reckless, we were free,

When we were young,

Now all we have is broken dreams.

When we were,

We were,

We were young,

When we were,

We were,

We were young.

Do you remember the place,

In the cold november rain,

You showed me the way,

Oh, when we were young.

Now I'm back at your door,

Setting fires and chasing flames,

We've been here before,

Oh, when we were young.

When we were young,

We were reckless, we were free,

When we were young,

Now all we have is broken dreams.

When we were,

We were,

We were young,

When we were,

We were,

We were young.

When we were young,

We were reckless, we were free,

When we were young,

Now all we have is broken dreams,

When we were,

We were,

We were young,

When we were,

We were,

We were young,

When we were young.
