[Verse 1]
I saw a photograph from ten years back
It's you and I, we're standin' in the rain
Somewhere outside Atlanta, and I think my twelve-seat van
Is right there out of frame

[Pre-Chorus]
This was before I knew my way around Los Angeles
Before I ever cared about nice neighborhoods
We were drivin' through the night, sleepin' on hotel floors
And thinkin' that we had it good

[Chorus]
We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
We were kids back then (You and me)
We were wild and free, takin' on the world together
We were kids back then
That's how we're always gonna be

[Post-Chorus: Children's Choir]
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la

[Verse 2]
Passed an old friend on my timeline who had lately been on my mind
We were close as blood
If we sat down for a drink, I think we'd forget all the stupid reasons we lost touch (We lost touch)
It was just because
