We were young
We had plans
That we wrote
On the back of our hands
So the ink could wash off
If we found that the plans had to stop
.
In the spring,
In the night
I would hide
And give you
Such a fright
When I jumped
From behind
Our couch
We spent months
Trying to buy
And you held me so tightly
That I couldn't breathe
And you whispered assurance
That you'd never leave
And we talked through the night
Of what we could achieve
We were young
.
There were times
When I felt
That there just
Couldn't be anyone else
In the world
But ourselves
And then times
When we put each other
Through hell
.
And I lay all the blame I could find onto you
'Cause nearly nothing of what you had said was the truth
And our only excuse was the one we had used

We were young
.
I don't wanna leave, but I'll go now
No matter how hard I'll rub you, you won't come out
My blues hit your browns by the door
And I could hit the floor
But the plan on my palm says I'm leaving
.
We had burnt
All the songs
That we thought
Could make us millions
And the time
That was left
Meant we only had
Seconds to live
.
And I cried to my family and cried to my friends
And I promised my people that this was the end
But the thing that hurts most is I won't kiss you again
We were young
.
