[Verse 1]
When we were younger
I was running thunder
Now I'm chasing thirty
I've wasted time, certainly
I was dreaming daily
Running through the same trees
Comfort in my family
There was nothing that could hurt me

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it's clear why the good die young
I know time won't slow me down
We could grow so old now
And I know, I know

[Chorus]
When we were younger
It was so much easier
When we were younger
It was so much easier

[Verse 2]
When we've grown older
Our faith will run colder
Remember me in those days
We were close in many ways
Never felt safer then
My time has come and gone again
Take the lead and I'll fight the cause
Age with me with no remorse
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess it's clear why the good die young
I know time won't slow me down
We could grow so old now
And I know, I know

[Chorus]
When we were younger
It was so much easier
When we were younger
I ain't no martyr, I ain't no martyr
When we were younger
It was so much easier (When we were younger)
When we were younger (When we were younger)
When we were younger (When we were younger)
