When we were young
Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk
To the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
'Cause you feel like home
You're like a dream come true
But if by chance you're here alone
Can I have a moment
Before I go?
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
Hoping you're someone I used to know
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God this reminds me
Of when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were scared of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
I was so scared to face my fears
'Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
And I'd swear you moved overseas
That's what you said, when you left me
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
It's hard to win me back (when we were young)
Everything just takes me back (when we were young)
To when you were there (when we were young)
To when you were there (when we were young)
And a part of me keeps holding on (when we were young)
Just in case it hasn't gone (when we were young)
I guess I still care (when we were young)
Do you still care? (when we were young)
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
Let me photograph you in this light (when we were young)
In case it is the last time (when we were young)
That we might be exactly like we were (when we were young)
Before we realized (when we were young)
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old
It makes me reckless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young
From the way you talk
To the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
'Cause you feel like home
You're like a dream come true
But if by chance you're here alone
Can I have a moment
Before I go?
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
Hoping you're someone I used to know
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God this reminds me
Of when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were scared of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
I was so scared to face my fears
'Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
And I'd swear you moved overseas
That's what you said, when you left me
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
It's hard to win me back (when we were young)
Everything just takes me back (when we were young)
To when you were there (when we were young)
To when you were there (when we were young)
And a part of me keeps holding on (when we were young)
Just in case it hasn't gone (when we were young)
I guess I still care (when we were young)
Do you still care? (when we were young)
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
Let me photograph you in this light (when we were young)
In case it is the last time (when we were young)
That we might be exactly like we were (when we were young)
Before we realized (when we were young)
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old
It makes me reckless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young
