When we were young
Well the first twenty-one
It's a criminal ride
But whatever you've done
You can get out alive
The first twenty-one
Is it heaven or hell?
But who really cares
We were under a spell
The first twenty-one
And those hot summer nights
We were high as the stars
Under big city lights
(When we were young)
But when we were young
We learned how to tell our own lies
Telling ourselves it was paradise
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
Was like nothing that we'd ever seen
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
And sometimes we'd even believed it
When we were young
The first twenty-one
Was a coming of age
We would take on the world
Like we're turning a page
The first twenty-one
It's not what you think
Sometimes you fly
And sometimes you sink
(When we were young)
But when we were young
We learned how to tell our own lies
Telling ourselves it was paradise
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
Was like nothing that we'd ever seen
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
And sometimes we'd even believed it
When we were young
But when we were young
We learned how to tell our own lies
Telling ourselves it was paradise
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
Was like nothing that we'd ever seen
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
And sometimes we'd even believed it
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
We were just twenty-one
When we were young
