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 nothing had a cause When we were younger, mmm Yes, I recall (oh-oh) What started it all (oh-oh) Our endless conversations about future occupation And we, we couldn't be seen Got so lost in our dreams Askin' "Where did the time go? It used to move so slow" (Wait just a minute, would you slow 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 nothing had a cause When we were younger, yeah, mmm-mmm 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 ever ask for more) Oh, nobody had flaws (nobody had flaws) And nothing had a cause (nothing had a cause) When we were younger, mmm (When we were younger) (When we were young) we always wished to grow faster (When we were younger) I wish I took my time (When we were young) look at where we are now (When we were younger) oh, how the time flies by (Oh, when we were young) oh, well (Wish we were one) (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-)
