We Were Young Adrianne Lenker

[Verse 1]
Wild and free, seventeen
You were only seventeen
And your mind was beatin' like a djembe drum
We were young, we were young
You were mine and we were young
And our love was burnin'
Life was but a dream

[Verse 2]
I got lost a few times
You knew everywhere I'd hide
You would look and call, and eventually I'd come
We were young, we were young
We got lost when we were young
But our hearts were always easy to unwind

[Verse 3]
Two years gone, you were gone
You were off to share your song
Off to heal the aching pieces of the Earth
And it hurt when you left
But I never told you how
'Cause I wanted you to go and travel on

Travel on, travel on
We were young and you were gone
Off to heal the aching pieces of the Earth
