Lyrics
When we were young
We fought battles in our yard
When we were young
all the castles were ours
And now
I've forgot what it's like to breath
Unconditionally
And oh
I look back on those sweet memories
And all of them
they're lost
in time
And all of them,
they're lost
in time
When we were young
We were dreamers without cause
And now my mind's stuck on envy not grace
and I ache
And it's easy to fall, when you're already down
Oh you're lost, in time
When we were young
We fought battles in our yard
When we were young
all the castles were ours
