Lyrics
I couldn't sleep - was feeling melancholy
Googled your name now I'm sorry
I found a picture of you
a picture of you
a picture of you
you look happy with your wife and kids
I never imagined after all we did
I'd find this picture of you
this picture of you
picture of you 'cause
When we were young we were rebels
We thought we knew better
We said we'd never let 'em
change who we are
When we were young we were fighters
our dreams would never die out
what happened to turn that light out
what made us give up
on our dreams
When we were young
When we were young
Do you ever think of me
do you regret how it used to be
found a picture of me and you
of me and you
me and you
are you busy working nine to five
is your guitar in the attic or is your dream still alive
in this picture of you
this picture of you
picture of you
When we were young we were artistic
We stayed optimistic
We didn't want to fit in
to society
When we were young we were fighters
our dreams would never die out
what happened to turn that light out
what made us give up
on our dreams
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young we were rebels
We thought we knew better
We said we'd never let 'em
change who we are
When we were young we were fighters
our dreams would never die out
what happened to turn that light out
what made us give up
on our dreams
When we were young
When we were young
I couldn't sleep - was feeling melancholy
Googled your name now I'm sorry
I found a picture of you
a picture of you
a picture of you
