Verse 1

Everybody loves the things you do

From the way you talk to the way you move

Everybody here is watching you

'Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true

But, if by chance, you're here alone

Can I have a moment before I go?

'Cause I've been by myself all night long

Hoping you're someone I used to know

Pre-Chorus

You look like a movie, you sound like a song

My God, this reminds me of when we were young

Chorus

Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were before we realised

We were sad of getting old, it made us restless

It was just like a movie, it was just like a song

Verse 2

I was so scared to face my fears

Nobody told me that you'd be here

And I swear you'd moved overseas

That's what you said when you left me

Pre-Chorus

You still look like a movie, you still sound like a song

My God, this reminds me of when we were young

Chorus

Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were before we realised

We were sad of getting old, it made us restless

It was just like a movie, it was just like a song

Post-Chorus

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

Bridge

It's hard to admit that (When we were young)

Everything just takes me back (When we were young)

To when you were there (When we were young)

To when you were there

And a part of me keeps holding on (When we were young)

Just in case it hasn't gone (When we were young)

I guess I still care (When we were young)

Do you still care?

Break

It was just like a movie, it was just like a song

My God, this reminds me of when we were young

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

(When we were young)

Chorus

Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time

(When we were young, when we were young)

That we might be exactly like we were before we realised

(When we were young, when we were young)

We were sad of getting old, it made us restless

(When we were young, when we were young)

Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless

(When we were young, when we were young)

It was just like a movie, it was just like a song

When we were young
