We took time to see the sun 
Crossing rivers as we’d run 
Chasing birds down by the lake in the mud 
We would climb up in the trees 
Up high among the leaves 
We were wild and we were free when we were young 

But now we’re older 
And we feel the world at our feet 
As time turns we drift away 
Wish we were young again 

We built castles in the sand 
Felt like emperors of the land 
Making walls to stop the waves from coming up 
We found joy in little things 
Like imaginary scenes 
Oh I miss the way we were when we were young 

But now we’re older 
And we feel the world at our feet 
As time turns we drift away 
And oh how time flies 
Then you realize forgotten dreams 
Got lost along the way 
Wish we were young again 
Wish we were young again 

But there’s still so much to see in this life in front of me 
Like pages of a book still unturned 
We could sail the seven seas 
Even raise a family 
We could dream just like we did when we were young 

‘Cause now we’re older 
And we feel the world at our feet 
As time turns we drift away 
And oh how time flies 
Then you realise forgotten dreams 
Got lost along the way 
Wish we were young again 
Wish we were young again.
