Lyrics

[00:00.38] We were young
[00:03.19] We had plans
[00:05.13] That we wrote
[00:07.50] On the back of our hands
[00:09.81] So the ink could wash off
[00:14.44] If we found that the plans had to stop
[00:19.00] .
[00:19.25] In the spring,
[00:21.13] In the night
[00:23.69] I would hide
[00:25.88] And give you
[00:27.13] Such a fright
[00:28.31] When I jumped
[00:29.44] From behind
[00:33.00] Our couch
[00:35.50] We spent months
[00:36.50] Trying to buy
[00:37.56] And you held me so tightly
[00:40.06] That I couldn't breathe
[00:42.57] And you whispered assurance
[00:44.75] That you'd never leave
[00:47.25] And we talked through the night
[00:49.38] Of what we could achieve
[00:55.38] We were young
[00:56.81] .
[01:04.19] There were times
[01:06.81] When I felt
[01:09.13] That there just
[01:11.19] Couldn't be anyone else
[01:13.81] In the world
[01:15.82] But ourselves
[01:18.31] And then times
[01:19.63] When we put each other
[01:22.25] Through hell
[01:23.13] .
[01:23.38] And I lay all the blame I could find onto you
[01:27.50] 'Cause nearly nothing of what you had said was the truth
[01:32.75] And our only excuse was the one we had used
[01:37.38]
[01:40.65] We were young
[01:42.28] .
[01:44.84] I don't wanna leave, but I'll go now
[01:49.09] No matter how hard I'll rub you, you won't come out
[01:53.96] My blues hit your browns by the door
[01:56.78] And I could hit the floor
[01:59.40] But the plan on my palm says I'm leaving
[02:02.84] .
[02:06.52] We had burnt
[02:08.71] All the songs
[02:10.96] That we thought
[02:12.90] Could make us millions
[02:15.33] And the time
[02:17.71] That was left
[02:20.15] Meant we only had
[02:23.09] Seconds to live
[02:24.71] .
[02:24.96] And I cried to my family and cried to my friends
[02:29.59] And I promised my people that this was the end
[02:34.40] But the thing that hurts most is I won't kiss you again
[02:42.59] We were young
[02:43.96] .
[02:44.84]
