THOMAS BRETT - “WHEN WE WERE YOUNG” - LYRICS

VERSE 1:

When we were young…
Livin’ our lives, so dumb,
Just dreamin’ of another one…

Small-town kids,
Had it oh-so-easy…

When we were young…
And livin’ for fun, all play,
No workin’ for another pay…

Another day, and another restless night…

PRE-CHORUS:

Remember the neon lights?
The Arcade where we’d hide?
The little streets…
Our little world, where it felt so right?

(It was…)

CHORUS:

West Side Story and a Pocket of Posies,
Backed Into the Future, thought we just wouldn’t notice,
Now we’re writing songs about the days when we were young…

Louder than a rocket, while we rocked to the Roses,
Jumped into the Chevy, ready after the show just,
Cruisin’ through the years until we wondered where they’d gone…

Singing “Na, na, na, When When We Were Young”…

VERSE 2:

When we were young…
We always talked of leavin’...
Dreamin’ of a kinda love…

We saw in movies,
And late night TV…

When we were young…
Never a care, no fear,
No waitin’ through another year…

Another day, and another restless night…

BRIDGE:

Hey girls!
(Yeah?)

Remember how we used to chase boys at the mall?
With our hair done up real nice,
In our fancy stilettos?

(A-hah!)

Weren’t those days just the best?

And boys?
(Yeah?)

Remember how you’d all be waiting outside by your shiny new Deloreans’,
Just hoping that one of us would come over and say “Hi”?

(A-hah!)

Wasn’t it great when we were young?
