[Verse 1]
So let me begin
On an old dirt track back home
That we used to know
Oh, when we were young
Remember the days
We were wild, and on the run
Carving our names
Oh, when we were young

[Chorus]
When we were young
We were reckless, we were free
When we were young
Now all we have is broken dreams
When we were
We were
We were young
When we were
We were
We were young

[Verse 2]
Do you remember the place
In the cold November rain
You showed me the way
Oh, when we were young
Now I'm back at your door
Setting fires and chasing flames
We've been here before
Oh, when we were young
[Chorus]
When we were young
We were reckless, we were free
When we were young
Now all we have is broken dreams
When we were
We were
We were young
When we were
We were
We were young

[Repeat Chorus]
When we were young
We were reckless, we were free
When we were young
Now all we have is broken dreams

When we were
We were
We were young
When we were
We were
We were young
When we were young
