Do you wanna dance? She says to me
Showing up like an angel from a dream
She made the first move
Now is this what it seems?
No time to think 'cause now I'm off my feet
And with our eyes entwined we danced through the night
And we lost ourselves in that beautiful lie
That our youth would never die
Through all those nights with our lives ahead of us
When just the thrill of living was enough
You took your hand in mine
And we got drunk off the rush
Will you play that song for me?
The one we heard when our lives felt so free
'Cause now we see it all differently
But in a different time love was our release
But why don't we try to keep it alive?
'Cause I thought we'd dance 'til the stars they would die
But now I know why
Through all those nights with our lives ahead of us
When just the thrill of living was enough
You took your hand in mine
And we got drunk off the rush
But when that spark had faded, dissipated
With the setting sun
We became so jaded
So tell me baby, maybe we did it better when we were young
Maybe we did it better when we were young
Maybe we did it better when we were young
We had the world at our fingertips
But it was soon lost, lost to the darkness
Before we ever could have realized it
It was gone, gone forever
Through all those nights with our lives ahead of us
When just the thrill of living was enough
You took your hand in mine
And we got drunk off the rush
But when that spark had faded, dissipated
With the setting sun
We became so jaded
So tell me baby, maybe we did it better when we were young
Maybe we did it better when we were young
Maybe we did it better when we were young
