I was young and I was dumb
what can I tell you
I thought I was getting started
I never did get started
somehow I'm still waiting
and you were changing too
we collided in the night somehow
all those miles apart you showed me things about the brick built buildings
and the cobble stone roads
in every song you wrote
when we were young and we were in love
when we were young and we were in love
I don't remember leaving
I don't remember anything like I remember you that day you took me to the cemetery
where they buried the man you'd called your dad
I remember regretting all my best laid plans
they'd all been laid to waste
all those miles apart you showed me things about the brick built buildings
and the cobble stone roads
in every song you wrote
when we were young and we were in love
when we were young and we were in love
you were waiting
you were ready
I wasn't waiting, I wasn't ready
and the ink on your letters still ain't fading
and for the thousands of dollars in phone bills
I still don't know if you understand me
I still don't understand those phone bills
god damn those phone bill
all those miles apart showed me things about the brick built buildings
and the cobble stone roads
and every song you wrote
when we were young and we were in love
when we were young and we were in love
we were young
we were in love
