We were young We had plans That we wrote On the back of our hands So the ink could wash off If we found that the plans had to stop
In the spring, In the night I would hide And give you Such a fright When I jumped From behind Our couch We spent months Trying to buy And you held me so tightly That I couldn't breathe And you whispered assurance That you'd never leave And we talked through the night Of what we could achieve We were young
There were times When I felt That there just Couldn't be anyone else In the world But ourselves And then times When we put each other Through hell
And I lay all the blame I could find onto you Cause nearly nothing of what you had said was the truth And our only excuse was the one we had used We were young
I don't wanna leave, but I'll go now No matter how hard I'll rub you, you won't come out My blues hit your browns by the door And I could hit the floor But the plan on my palm says I'm leaving
We had planned All the songs That we thought Could make us millions And the time That was left Meant we only had Seconds to live
And I cried to my family and cried to my friends And I promised my people that this was the end But the thing that hurts most is I won't kiss you again We were young
