I can recall, sitting alone
The last one left to leave
So you had asked me if you could walk me home
And, I can still hear that school bell ring
And no one else could tell my frown was hidden by a grin
All those memories we shared
All the streets we used to roam
Are the pigments that you painted
Now my world's not monochrome
Back when we were younger
And our dreams were unexplored
We just needed each other
Couldn't ever ask for more
Oh, nobody had flaws
And nothing had a cause
When we were younger
Yes, I recall (oh oh)
What started it all (oh oh)
Our endless conversations about future occupation
And we, we couldn't be seen
Got so lost in our dreams
Askin' "Where did the time go? It used to move so slow"
(Wait just a minute, would you slow down please)
But those memories we shared
All the streets we used to roam
Are the pigments that you painted
Now my world's not monochrome
Back when we were younger
And our dreams were unexplored
We just needed each other
Couldn't ever ask for more
Oh, nobody had flaws
And nothing had a cause
When we were younger
Back when we were younger
And our dreams were unexplored (dreams were unexplored)
We just needed each other
Couldn't ever ask for more (couldn't ever ask for more)
Oh, nobody had flaws (nobody had flaws)
And nothing had a cause (nothing had a cause)
When we were younger
(When we were younger)
(When we were young) we always wished grow faster
(When we were younger) I wish I took my time
(When we were young) look at where we are now
(When we were younger) oh, how the time flies by
(Oh, when we were young) oh, well
(Wish we were one)
(Now wait just a damn minute)
(No one ever said it would be so fast)
(This is not what I signed up for)
(This is not what I signed up for)
(This is not what I signed up for)
(This is not what I signed up-)
