"We Were Young" lyrics

"We Were Young"

It's just another morning, time ain't on my side
Looking out a window, watching my life go by
But I don't feel it
How'd I become so numb?

Now everybody's talkin', but I don't hear a word they say
All I ever wanted was to be wide awake
I just wanna go back
I just wanna be there with you

When we were young, we were bold
We didn't care if we would ever grow old
When we were young we were free
Do you remember how it used to be?
When we were young
Take me back when we were young

Now I can almost feel it, running down Ralston St.
I can see you waiting, standing where the sidewalks meet
I just wanna go back
I just wanna be there with you

When we were young, we were bold
We didn't care if we would ever grow old
When we were young we were free
Do you remember how it used to be?
When we were young
Take me back when we were young

All I ever wanted was to be wide awake
All I ever wanted was to be wide awake
All I ever wanted, it's all I ever wanted, it's all I ever wanted
Now I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

When we were young, we were bold
We didn't care if we would ever grow old
When we were young we were free
Do you remember how it used to be?
When we were young
Take me back when we were young
