[[VERSE 1]] Summer sun down underwater You held me under, you held me under Summer photos, arms across shoulders The laughter seemed to make it all never matter [[VERSE 2]] The strength of your voice, it held me under As you called my name, you called my name There at the top of your lungs I could make it out through rain or thunder [[CHORUS]] Those were the long days when We were boys never men The longest days were always when We were boys never men [[VERSE 3]] Autumn moon over railroad clatter You tore me asunder, tore me asunder The arc of your lips across my shoulder We breathed words that started to matter [[CHORUS]] Those were the long days when We were boys never men The longest days were always when We were boys never men [[VERSE 4]] April is the cruelest month, I’m sure I’ve heard it said My soul went under for the last time, for the last time When all I saw was your face becoming a man You walked away through the fields of the dead [[CHORUS]] Those were the long days when We were boys never men The longest days were always when We were boys never men [[BRIDGE]] Don’t think of it as mere obsession. All that is, is love without possession This is the reason a man falls to pieces When the truth comes out and all he sees is His soulmate’s soul singing his song to another. If only we could’ve been something other. [[OUTRO]] Like boys never men Like boys never men Those were the long days when We were boys never men The loveliest days were always when We were boys never men
