Wes Aldrich - When We Were Young Lyrics

I knew you when you were young
We were just seventeen and we didn't even know we were having any fun
I knew you when you were brave
You were standing on a mountain like a diamond in the sky
You were breathing in the air
This world
Ain't feeling quite the same
Your eyes
They're looking far away we're coming down
I heard you when you could sing
You were hiding in the shadows of a world all alone
You were hanging on a string
There's sound coming from your room
I was standing in the hall I could hear every word
There was nothing left to do
This world
Ain't feeling quite the same
Your eyes
They're looking far away we're coming down
I felt you when it was real
You were swimming in my arms
Had a piece of my heart never knew you could steal
Wild love running through my veins
Just a world of our own something we could call home
But we let it slip away
This world
Ain't feeling quite the same
Your eyes
They're looking far away we're coming down
I knew you when you were young
We were just seventeen and we didn't even know we were having any fun

I knew you when you were young
We were just seventeen and we didn't even know we were having any fun
I knew you when you were brave
You were standing on a mountain like a diamond in the sky
You were breathing in the air
This world
Ain't feeling quite the same
Your eyes
They're looking far away we're coming down
I heard you when you could sing
You were hiding in the shadows of a world all alone
You were hanging on a string
There's sound coming from your room
I was standing in the hall I could hear every word
There was nothing left to do
This world
Ain't feeling quite the same
Your eyes
They're looking far away we're coming down
I felt you when it was real
You were swimming in my arms
Had a piece of my heart never knew you could steal
Wild love running through my veins
Just a world of our own something we could call home
But we let it slip away
This world
Ain't feeling quite the same
Your eyes
They're looking far away we're coming down
I knew you when you were young
We were just seventeen and we didn't even know we were having any fun
