When We Were Younger

Back when we weren't older dear

Back when we were sober here

On that hilltop where we'd run

Where we'd take photographs crippled by the sun

We were young

Oh my God I've heard we're one

But we were young and didn't know the significance

But in that garden hind' your father's house

Our knees were soiled to the color of your blouse

We were young, oh, we were younger

We were told we'd always be younger

Did we ever love, were we just kids who knew nothing of it?

Did we ever love, were we just kids?

And fearlessly I'd march that victory home

And I'd stare at the ceiling

Then with the taste of cinnamon that begged to be left alone

Oh, we were younger

We were told we'd always be younger
