[Intro ] I found an old picture yesterday Buried underneath a stack of things You were laughing like the world was ours I was wearing those ridiculous rings There was smoke above the kitchen light A cheap guitar leaning by the door We had twenty dollars between us And somehow we were millionaires [Pre-Chorus ] We didn't know the years were watching We didn't know they'd disappear We thought the night would last forever Because forever felt so near [Chorus ] WE WERE NEVER OLD WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW EVERY LITTLE NIGHT WAS SOMETHING WE'D MISS WE WERE NEVER OLD WE WERE MADE OF GOLD AND IF I CLOSE MY EYES I'M STILL LIVING IN IT (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We're still living in it (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Yeah, we're still living in it [Verse 2 ] You had flowers on your Sunday dress I had trouble keeping my hair in place We'd drive nowhere with the windows down Just to watch the sunset change its face There was music coming through the radio A little crackle underneath the song You said, "Promise me we'll stay this way" I smiled like nothing could go wrong [Pre-Chorus ] We didn't know the years were watching We didn't know they'd take their share We thought growing up was something That happened to somebody else [Chorus | bigger | layered male harmonies] WE WERE NEVER OLD WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW EVERY LITTLE NIGHT WAS SOMETHING WE'D MISS WE WERE NEVER OLD WE WERE MADE OF GOLD AND IF I CLOSE MY EYES I'M STILL LIVING IN IT (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We're still living in it (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We're still living in it [Bridge ] Now the picture's turning yellow And the edges have begun to fade But I swear I hear you laughing Like you never went away Maybe time can take the people Maybe time can change the town But it can't erase the feeling Of the first time we were young [Build ] And if I had one night to borrow One little night before we knew I'd spend it exactly where we left it Right there Right there with you [Final Chorus ] WE WERE NEVER OLD WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW EVERY LITTLE NIGHT WAS SOMETHING WE'D MISS WE WERE NEVER OLD WE WERE MADE OF GOLD AND IF I CLOSE MY EYES I'M STILL LIVING IN IT WE WERE NEVER OLD NO, WE NEVER KNEW THAT THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES WOULD FEEL THIS NEW (Oh-oh, oh-oh) We're still living in it (Oh-oh, oh-oh) I'm still living in it (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Somewhere back there with you [Outro ] I found an old picture yesterday... And for a moment... We were never old.
