We Were Only Young

Remember twenty years ago That couple could be us Sneaking out on school nights And laughing on the bus But what they don’t know yet Is that the best is yet to come We thought we knew it all back then But we were only young We left home that same week To go to different towns We met up every weekend Like carefree circus clowns Then after three more years away We stepped on our first rung We thought we knew it all then But we were only young We never could imagine That after all this time We’d have something beautiful That we still can’t define We held on to each other When we wished we’d held our tongues But we were only human But we were only young We thought we knew it all back then But we were only young
