Well there's a color picture in my mind
Of all the places that I've left behind
The broken windows where the wind blows through
Empty shells of houses that have turned to ruin
Oh, we were so young
We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
And I remember you
You were the backyard boy
Hiding in the wreckage of broken dreams
Standing by the railway line, standing
Oh, we were so young
We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
Oh, we were so young
We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
And all the sweetness has been taken out of this place
So many memories are knocked down or replaced
And I can't stand to see, the shifting time
Taking me further, leaving you behind
There's a color picture in my mind
Oh, we were so young
We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
Oh, we were so young
We didn't realize
Just what we'd done
Oh, we were too young
Oh, we were so young
Oh, we were too young
Oh, we were so young
Oh, we were too young
