I'm going to tell my future daughter, and my future son
That time is on the run so don't chase it, don't chase it
Enjoy your crushes and learn from
Your crashes, you don't need to rush this

You should know what I know now
If only I knew what I know now
When you're young
You think you're right even when you're wrong
You fall in love with love songs
And sad songs

Sometimes I really miss the way it hurt
When More Than Words would play
My heart would break for days
I miss the way it was
Back when we were young
I wanna be a great grandfather

And see my daughter's daughters grow up
And learn the world keeps on turning
But all that's uncertain will always work out in the end
When you're young
You think you're right even when you're wrong
You fall in love with love songs
And sad songs

Sometimes I really miss the way it hurt
When More Than Words would play
My heart would break for days
I miss the way it was

Back when we were young
Back when we were young
Back when we were young
Back when we were young

I still get shaken up every time that I drive by her street
I wanted you bad, but looking that far back makes me think
When you're young
You think you're right even when you're wrong
You fall in love with love songs

And sad songs
Sometimes I really miss the way it hurt
When More Than Words would play
My heart would break for days
I miss the way it was

Back when we were young
Back when we were young
Back when we were young
Back when we were young
Back when we were young
