We Were Young

Intro - Synthesizers, lead melody

Verse 1

We met by the bike rack

Mud on your sneakers

I had gum in my hair

And you laughed like a fever

Sara stole my bracelet

You blamed the whole class

We ran past the bleachers

And we never looked back

Pre-Chorus

You said, "Come on, stay"

I said, "Maybe"

Now every little mess

Feels kind of amazing

Chorus

Oh, we were young

We were golden

(chasing the day)

Oh, we were young

Hearts wide open

(yours and mine)

You and me

Running wild

Beautiful friends

Beautiful love

Verse 2

At the mall with your jacket

And my borrowed red ring

We shared one milkshake

And a stupid song thing

You passed me the note

Under Mrs. Bell's desk

It said, "Meet me after"

And my whole chest went yes

Pre-Chorus

You said, "Come on, stay"

I said, "Maybe"

Now every little mess

Feels kind of amazing

Chorus

Oh, we were young

We were golden

(chasing the day)

Oh, we were young

Hearts wide open

(yours and mine)

You and me

Running wild

Beautiful friends

Beautiful love

Bridge

Maybe grown-up talks

Will change our names

But I still know your smile

In every rainy game

If the world gets loud

Hold my hand

Teenage love is real

When you understand

Final Chorus

Oh, we were young

We were golden

(chasing the day)

Oh, we were young

Hearts wide open

(yours and mine)

You and me

Running wild

Beautiful friends

Beautiful love

Oh, we were young

And we meant it

(we meant it)

Beautiful friends

Beautiful love
