Lyrics
WHEN WE WERE PIRATES
STANDING HERE, LOOKING OUT AT THE SEA
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
ALL THE PLACES THAT I'VE BEEN BRING ME BACK TO YOU
CRYING OUT, ASKING YOU WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?
THAT REMINDED YOU TO COME ON BACK TO ME
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
PROMISES WERE MADE, NO NEED TO EXPLAIN TIME STOOD STILL
WHEN WINGS WOULD CARRY ME HIGH
HIGHER THAN THE FEAR, HELD YOU ALL SO NEAR
WHEN WE WERE PIRATES, WE RULED THE SEA WHEN WE WERE PIRATES, YOU AND ME
EVERY TIME I STUMBLED, OR SLID OFF THE TRACK YOU PULLED ME BACK AND REMINDED ME THAT DREAMS COME TRUE
IT'S BEEN SO LONG BUT I STILL LOOK BACK TO A TREASURED PAST
WHERE FANTASIES WERE REAL, NO ONE KNEW
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
PROMISES WERE MADE, NO NEED TO EXPLAIN TIME STOOD STILL
WHEN WINGS WOULD CARRY ME HIGH
HIGHER THAN THE FEAR, HELD YOU ALL SO NEAR WHEN WE WERE PIRATES, WE RULED THE SEA
WHEN WE WERE PIRATES, YOU AND ME
WHO KNEW WHAT WE'D DO
WITH THE CHOICES THAT WE MADE
THE PRICES THAT WE PAID, WHO KNEW
I SEE A PART OF ME IN EVERY ONE OF YOU
A NEVER ENDING RING
HELPED ME PREPARE TO BE .................YOUNG
PROMISES WERE MADE, NO NEED TO EXPLAIN TIME STOOD STILL
WHEN WINGS WOULD CARRY ME HIGH
HIGHER THAN THE FEAR, HELD YOU ALL SO NEAR WHEN WE WERE PIRATES, WE RULED THE SEA
WHEN WE WERE PIRATES, YOU AND ME
