When We Were 17 - ehren

We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippin and sliding Years leave quicker every time they come Remember when we were young Look back to the best of days Collecting all yesterdays As they build up one by one How we beg and we borrow Say we'll do it tomorrow But tomorrow never seems to come We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Fying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker every time they come Remember when we were young When we were boys on the beach Everything was in reach I know it's hard to remember But oh how the years they vanish I always wanted to learn Spanish And travel round South-America We used to never say never Used to think we live for ever Flying free beneath the sun Days go running and hiding The weeks are going slippy and sliding Years leave quicker every time they come Remember 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 sad 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 Nobody told me that you'd be here And I 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 It's hard to admit that Everything just takes me back To when you were there To when you were there And a part of me keeps holding on Just in case it hasn't gone I guess I still care Do you still care? 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 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 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

It was just like a movie It was just like a song When we were young When we were young When we were young Oh 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 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

I never really got why we're here Just look at all we build in our lives Then we all disappear A few of us are born with so much While most of us just chasing down a dream That we just can't touch So, why we try so hard in this place? When pain and suffering's a guarantee And happiness is a phase I wonder if one day we're at peace Or will this whole world just become like the Middle East? But when I was younger, when I was younger I had the answers, I've got to say But all of my answers, now that I'm older Turned into questions, in front of me, yeah I wonder where we go when we die If there is anything past all our sun and our sky 'Cause airports only take us so high Is it hidden in the stars? What's the answer to your soul's light? Wonder do we get to come back I wonder if I will remember these questions I've asked Or will I just start over again? I hope it's not too hard to find all of my old friends But when we were younger, when we were younger I had the answers, I've got to say But all of my answers, now that I'm older Turned into questions, in front of me But when we were younger, when we were younger I had the answers, I've got to say But all of my answers, now that we're older Turned into questions, in front of me, yeah I wonder if we get one true love Or maybe there's a few out there Or maybe not even one I wonder if it's made up by man I wonder if love is what we make with our own two hands I wonder why I write all these songs I wonder if you know what you're saying when you sing along And will you know my name when I'm gone? Or are you just too sick of these love songs? When we were younger, when we were younger I had the answers, I've got to say But all of my answers, now that I'm older Turned into questions, in front of me Oh, when we were younger, when we were younger I had the answers, I've got to say But all of my answers, now that I'm older Just turned into questions, right in front of me Right in front of me, in front of me Everything changes, in front of me, yeah

Oh... One, two, three, four We're separated by a margin of a greater degree The same flesh and blood, but in a different lane I've read the remedy too But my words, they still sounded the same When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun (oh) We flew into the sun I'm dedicated to the shadow that's been following me It caught me counting the cards, I guess the rules remain Oh, it was heavenly then But the devils were calling my name When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" (oh) Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out We flew into the sun We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun

When we were lovers Feelings Remembering the accident The puppy love slipped from your heart Along with the nonsense Suddenly you burned our flag Declared independence Eternity was cut too short Though I admit My lover was already gone I just warmed up the seat For somebody new That you were bound to meet That somebody who Would take the place of me In your feelings Gradually you overstayed Our memories would not be played To friends in a slide show There had never been that much to see At the end of our rainbow Humidity and last sunbeams In a vacant lot My lover was already gone I just warmed up the seat For somebody new That you were bound to meet That somebody who Would take the place of me In your feelings Whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh My lover was already gone I just warmed up the seat For somebody new...
