When We Were Young Tema Yurev, MAGIKISS!

You had dirt on your knees
I had paint on my hands
We were stealing apricots
From the neighbor’s fence
Your bike had one bad brake
Mine had stickers on the frame
We laughed like we were rich
With nothing to our name

And I still taste that summer
On the back of my tongue
We were scared of growing up
But we said we’d stay young

When we were young
We were wild and dumb
When we were young
We ran beneath the setting sun
When we were young
You were my first song
You were my first song
And I still feel where we belong

Your mom called us in
When the porch light hit the yard
We’d hide in the cornrows
Counting stars through the dark
I wore your old blue hoodie
Like a flag I could keep
You said the world was big
But it fit in our street

And I still feel that summer
In the bones of my hands
We were scared of changing
But we made our own plans

When we were young
We were wild and dumb
When we were young
We ran beneath the setting sun
When we were young
You were my first song
You were my first song
And I still feel where we belong

Now the mirrors know my face
And your voice lives in the wind
I found the girl I was
In the places we were in
If I close my eyes, I’m there
Beneath that August sky
Two kids with scraped-up hearts
Trying hard not to say goodbye

When we were young
We were wild and dumb
When we were young
We ran beneath the setting sun
When we were young
You were my first song
You were my first song
And I still feel where we belong
