When We Were Young – simplified

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 alonem

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 scared 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’d 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,

when we were young,

when we were young,

when we were young…

It’s hard to win me back,

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,

when we were young,

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.
