The monsters that were once under my bed
Now you can only find them in my head
And all our fears of make-believe were never there
When we were young
Oh, when we were young

Seems like with every step we move away
From the feelings we'll forget called yesterday
We never thought of tomorrow, but still it came
When we were young
Oh, when we were young

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be running, don't wanna be hiding
Don't wanna think about the morning
Wish I could be higher than I once was
I just wanna be falling, forget about reasons
Guess somebody else picks up the pieces
Don't wanna care about all the things I've done
Like when we were young
Like when we were young

Never felt so old in my whole life
Still so young, but I'm longing for the child inside
I wish that I could turn back time
To when we were young
Oh, when we were young

[Chorus]
Don't wanna be running, don't wanna be hiding
Don't wanna think about the morning
Wish I could be higher than I once was
Just wanna be falling, forget about reasons
Guess somebody else picks up the pieces
Don't wanna care about all the things I've done
Like when we were young

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be running, don't wanna be hiding
Don't wanna think about the morning
Wish I could be higher than I once was
I just wanna be falling, forget about reasons
Guess somebody else picks up the pieces
Don't wanna care about all the things I've done
Like when we were young
Like when we were young
Like when we were young
