We Were

We were just a couple years short of the age by my name on a fake ID

And still 'bout a hundred away from the day your daddy said you could run with me

We were a couple of line-steppers who just couldn't wait to step over the line

Never thinkin' we wouldn't last, I was your first and you were mine

And we were leather jackets hangin' onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight

(We were) Both feet hangin' out over the edge of a water tower skyline

At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss her

I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

Mm-mm

We were gonna make it, weren't we, baby?

Had it all laid out in our mind

By the time we knew time was runnin' out, we'd done run outta time

And we were downtown Saturday night, last call, cover band

Till the last song played, never thought we'd fade like the stamp on the back of her hand

We were, her on my shoulders, lighter than the air

"Pour Some Sugar On Me"

We were top down in Johnson's field when she whispered that she wants me

At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss her

I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

Mm-mm

We were leather jackets hangin' onto a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight

(We were) Both feet hangin' out over the edge of a water tower skyline

At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss her

I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

Mmm, yes, I do

Friends say, "Oh well, let that ship sail, you gotta let go of her"

Just wasn't meant to be but somewhere down deep, I still believe

That we were
