When the sky was gold
and I needed
no protection
But as the wind will blow
a thousand miles
in no direction
Man it was
a beautiful sight
days were soaked
in sunlight
just so long ago
that lately all I do imagine
When I was young
whatever happened
it would do me no wrong
as long as I could
sing my favourite song
When I was young
Ooh and the holidays
went on and on
we were so high
Let the freeway
take us into the night
and in the dark you sang
my favourite song
when I was young
Ooh and the holidays
went on and on
and on and on and on
when I was young
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
Ah ah aah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah ah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
now the sky is grey
but honestly
it doesn't hurt me
I learned to find my way
on the path
and no returnin'
ooh, ooh
Everything I've left behind
on my mind that every
time I meet your eyes
we were so bold and
brave baby
can you imagine?
When I was young
whatever happened
it would do me no wrong
as long as I could
sing my favourite song
when I was young
Ooh and the holidays
went on and on
we were so high
Let the freeway
take us into the night
and in the dark you sang
my favourite song
when I was young
Ooh and the holidays
went on and on
and on and on and on
when I was young
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
Ah ah aah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
oh yeah
when I was young
We would play with fire
when I was young
And we would
fuck the prize
when I was young
it was do or die
I would give my life
just to feel like
When I was young
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
Ah ah aah
Ah ah ah-ah ah
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
oh do or die
Ah-ah ah-ah ah
when I was young
Doing no wrong
We were so high
Ooh and the holidays
went on and on
and on and on and on
when I was young
