When We Were Young

(album: Precursors, Vol. 1 - 2021)

You know I'm not heartless, I'm just using my heart less
It's been that way since the last time I saw you
Your style, your soul, your smile and, endless goodbyes
And I got days where I feel so much stronger
And there's nights that seem to take so long
Like I was given a first class seat to the long way around

When we were young, you meant so much to me
I never thought there was anything that could tear you away
Oh, when we were young, yeah, I never would believe
That you would end up hating everything, that I'd become
When we were young

Never let 'em know what the smile on your face means
Have friends but stand on your own two feet
Speak up, be bold, baby, say what you mean
You'll learn a lot when listening closely
Just know I think about you, know I dream about you
Wherever you may be, you're never too far from me
Your feet on holy ground, but, you're holding out now, holding out now

When we were young, you meant so much to me
I never thought there was anything that could tear you away
Oh, when we were young, yeah, I never would believe
That you would end up hating everything, that I'd become
When we were young

When we were long down
When it was time to try to save your life
But ya never come around
When we were done
'Cause we never sold out
I can see it in your eyes, you know I'm right
But [?] you're holding out now, oh yeah, oh
You're holding out now, you're [?]

When we were young, you meant so much to me
I never thought there was anything that could tear you away
Oh, when we were young, yeah, I never would believe
That you would end up hating everything, that I'd become
When we were young

Never let 'em know what the smile on your face means
[?] but staying on your own two feet
Speak up, be bold, baby, say what you mean, you gotta say what you mean
Just know I think about you, know I dream about you
Wherever you may be, you're never too far from me
You'll be on holy [?], but, you're holding out now
