Back in those days

(Verse 1)
Dust motes dancing in the sun, a window open wide
Bare feet on the kitchen floor, no place left to hide
From all the summers stretching out, a world we thought we knew
Where every day was a brand new map, a sky of endless blue
(Chorus)
'Cause we were young, we were so young
The words we sang were wild and free, no song was left unsung
We were young, like a brand new start
Before the world had time to leave its fingerprints on our hearts
(Verse 2)
The tire swing in the backyard tree, that scraped against the bark
A flashlight beam cutting through the gloom, a tiny, glowing spark
Telling ghost stories after dark, with promises we'd keep
Counting stars until the moon had put the whole wide world to sleep
(Chorus)
'Cause we were young, we were so young
The words we sang were wild and free, no song was left unsung
We were young, like a brand new start
Before the world had time to leave its fingerprints on our hearts
(Bridge)
Some people say that time can steal the things you hold so dear
But the memory of those days, it hasn't faded through the years
It’s not about how long it's been, or how the seasons change
It's just a feeling in my chest, a melody arranged
(Chorus)
'Cause we were young, we were so young
The words we sang were wild and free, no song was left unsung
We were young, like a brand new start
Before the world had time to leave its fingerprints on our hearts
(Outro)
Yeah, we were young, and we still are, in a quiet part of me
Like a photograph tucked in a book, for only us to see.
