"When We Were Younger (Remix)" lyrics

I can recall, sitting alone, the last one left to leave
So you had asked me if you could walk me home, and
I can still hear that school bell ring
And no one else could tell my frown was hidden by a grin

All those memories we shared
All the streets we used to roam
Are the pigments that you painted
Now my world's not monochrome

Back when we were younger and our dreams were unexplored
We just needed each other, couldn't ever ask for more
Oh nobody had flaws and nothing had a cause
When we were younger

Uh, ah, Mr. Cavetown, how 'bout you?

This street feels small and now I can count on both my hands (five, six, seven, eight)
All the times I fell right here, right there, scuffed up my knees, made my mom scared
We're were trying our best, our best isn't good enough these days
Can we go back? Is it too late? (Is it too late? Are we too late?)
(Wait just a minute, would you slow down, please?)

But those memories we shared
All the streets we used to roam
All the pigments that you painted
Now my world's not monochrome

Back when we were younger and our dreams were unexplored
We just needed each other, couldn't ever ask for more
Oh nobody had flaws and nothing had a cause
When we were younger

Back when we were younger and our dreams were unexplored
We just needed each other, couldn't ever ask for more
Oh nobody had flaws and nothing had a cause
When we were younger

When we were younger
When we were younger

We always wished we could grow faster
I wish I took my time
Look at where we are now
Oh how the time flies by
Oh well

Now wait just a damn minute
No one ever said it would be so fast
This is not what I signed up for
This is not what I signed up for
This is not what I signed up for
