When We Were Younger

I can recall, sittin' 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 nothin' had a cause When we were younger (mm) (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, screamed, mom I'm scared (ooh) We're trying our best (we'll try our best) My 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 it down, please?) But 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 nothin' had a cause When we were younger (mm) Back when we were younger And our dreams were unexplored (dreams were unexplored) We just needed each other Couldn't ever ask for more (couldn't ask for more) Oh, nobody had flaws (nobody had flaws) And nothin' had a cause (nothin' had a cause) When we were younger (mm) (When we were younger) We always wish we could grow faster (we always wished we could grow faster) I wish I took my time (I wish I took my time) Look at where we are now (look at where we are now) Oh, how the time flies by (oh, how the time flies by) Oh, well (when we were younger) (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) (This is not what I signed up)
