[Verse 1]
Dreamin'
Was like dreamin’
A teething infant bleeding
Death to every thought you wouldn't share
Sleepin'
I was sleepin’
Resting where you indicated
Safety could be counted up

[Chorus]
And all the boys that lost you
Forever young, forever young
The women all that built you
I read it wrong
I know, I know, I know
I read you wrong
I know, I know, I know
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Kneelin'
You were kneelin'
Patiently, you waited for the moment to move ahead
Changin'
Were you changin'?
Boys are wrong in thinking you are more than unpredictable
[Chorus]
And all the boys that lost you
Forever young, forever young
The women all that built you
I read it wrong
I know, I know, I know
I read you wrong
I know, I know, I know
Oh, oh

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
And all the boys that lost you
Forever young, forever young
The women all that built you
I read it wrong
I know, I know, I know
I read you wrong
I know, I know, I know
Oh, oh

(And all the boys that lost you
Forever young, forever young
The women all that built you
I read it wrong, I read it wrong
And all the boys that lost you
Forever young, forever young
I read it wrong)
