We Did It When We Were Young Songtext
von The Gaslight Anthem

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 in another 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
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
