Its easy looking back

But hard to understand

How the years can go so fast

And slip right through your hand

Changing times and changing dreams

Can't help but wonder where we'd be 



CHORUS

If we knew then what we know now

We could have turned the world upside down

We were reckless, young and proud

We had the whole thing figured out

We never saw the writing on the wall

Even though we thought we knew it all

Oh my friend, if we knew then, what we know now



We tried to touch the stars

Burned a million miles of ground

We always went to far

And never would back down

Oh, life is a chance you take

And live and die by choices you make



REPEAT CHORUS



If we knew then what we know now

We could have turned the world upside down

We were reckless young and proud

We had the whole thing figured out

We never saw the writing on the wall

Even though we thought we knew it all

Oh my friend, if we knew then, what we know now 



Oh my friend, if we knew then, what we know now
