When we were young
I fell in love easily
Down like a stone
It felt like you tempted the blue from my eyes
And promised me everything beautiful under the sun
Oh when we were young
When we were young
We met at the cinema
And I held your hand
As we walked to the back row
And we kissed through the trailers and most of the film
Now I don’t even remember which one
Oh when we were young
When we were young
Your face got kind of pale
And you lost all that weight
So we went to the doctor
Who said we’d be lucky if you made it til Christmas
By Valentines day you were gone
Oh when we were young
When we were young
I fell in love easily
But now I confess
I don’t think of you nearly as much as I should
‘Til I see dreamy teenagers lost in their love just begun
Oh when we were young
Oh when we were young
