Last Night When We Were Young

(album: Wide Eyed - 2022)

Twenty, met you in a bar at UNI
Cheeks rudder red like cherries
I could tell you wanted to invite me home

Dammit why'd you go and call me Baby
Every little step was easy
Like you were somebody I've always known

That's where we began, in your apartment
Listening to Lou Reed, lying on the carpet
And if I could go back to where we started
I'd do it again

Last night when we were young
We danced to our favorite songs
Woke up, all grown up
And got dressed for our day jobs

Last night when we were young
You held so tight that my hand went numb
Woke up, all grown up
And got dressed for our day jobs

Last last night, when we, when we were young
Last last night, when we, when we were young

Hey babe, you and me we're tight like blue jeans
Kept you up all night like a bad dream
Showed me how to keep my ghosts away

Some days, I sit and think about my parents
Do they ever feel like we did
We we got home from our first date

That's where we began that August
Walking on the wild side
Lighten up the darkness
If I could go back to where we started
I'd do it again

Last night when we were young
We danced to our favorite songs
Woke up all grown up
And got dressed for our day jobs

Last night when we were young
You held so tight that my hand went numb
Woke up all grown up
And got dressed for our day jobs

Last last night, when we, when we were young
Last last night, when we, when we were young

That's where we began, that August
Lying on the carpet, lighting up the darkness
