The Gaslight Anthem - We Did It When We Were Young lyrics

rate me

Don't write me no more letters

My mailbox is full of bombs

Between you and the kooks on my block

I don't remember the good times

I wasn't there and you were kind

And my wife has some dogs in our yard

And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl

We were strangers many hours

And I missed you for so long

When we were lions, lovers in combat

Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned

But I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young

There are no reasons to believe

I buried my faith on the block

With your heart and your clothes

When I find

I don't feel you or recall

I'll put your bones out in the yard

Someone else to be called and called by

And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl

We were strangers many hours

And I missed you for so long

When we were lions, lovers in combat

Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned

But I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young
