You say that you're leaving
That your hands are only dust
And the boy loves you
Oh, he loves you so much

Will you trust me
Like you did when we were young?
When we were young

You say that you're wilting
But I don't see it at all
You're a thousand things
You can fly with one wing

Who will brace me
From my painful, sudden fall?

When we were young
I never had to worry
I never even cared
'Cause something always came my way
When we were young
I never was repeating
The sentiment again and again
Oh, something's gotta come my way

Oh, it won't be easy
As you reach your final end
When our days are spent
And I watch you transcend
Will you watch me
With our loved ones in the sky?

When we were young (mm)
I never had to worry (mm)
When we were young (mm)
When we were young (mm)

When we were young
I never had to worry
I never even cared
'Cause something always came my way
When we were young
I never had to carry
These fears I have today
You take me when I close my eyes
