[melodic intro]
hmm-mmm, ahh-ooh, (oooh oooh)
(nnn mmm) mmm-ahh
(Ooooh aah)
Hmm hmm oooh oooh
(Ahh-ah-ah)

[Verse 1]
Weekend nights, high school days
Soccer games, endless haze
Screen lights glowing soft and blue
Midnight laughs, me and you

[Verse 2]
Beanbag chairs, bending rules
Echoed jokes, midnight fools
Thought these nights would never fade
Now they're whispers far away

[Chorus]
When we stayed up late
Dreamed our love was fate
Spoke of dreams, debate
Did they feel it too?
When we were young
(When we were young)

[instrumental][layered choir]

[Verse 3]
Graduation changed our scene
Different roads, chasing dreams
Yet these memories replay
When I’m lost along the way

[Bridge]
Now those nights are shadows in my mind
Whispers of the past, left behind
Holding tight to moments slipping through
Did they feel the way I always do?

[break]

[build up]

[Chorus]
When we stayed up late
Dreamed our love was fate
Spoke of dreams, debate
Did they feel it too?
When we were young
(When we were young)

[break]

[Final Chorus]
When we stayed up late
(hmm-mmm, ahh-ooh, (oooh oooh))
Dreamed our love was fate
(nnn mmm, mmm-ahh)
(Ooooh aah)
Did they feel it too?
(Hmm hmm, aah aah)
When we were young (Ahh-ah-ah)
(When we were young)
When we were young (Ahh-ah-ah)
(When we were young)
