Young Once

I was so damn clever in my own little world
 Gone and made the perfect gesture for the perfect girl
 But nothing ever really works out like that
 On the day and the day after
 The feeling of disaster that I've truly got to know
 In the months since I came home
 Came back, nothing ever really works out like that
 And we were young once
 So was everyone
 I guess something about it felt important
 ♪
 If I could remember the name of everyone I'd kissed
 Does that mean they'd remember mine?
 Was there something in that momentary bliss?
 Such a beautiful waste of time
 Today we sat together like the family we had made
 And it was real and it was something
 And we ate off plastic plates and
 We all work our dream jobs
 And I'm not lacking in ambition
 I am a building of a person
 That's scheduled for demolition
 And we were young once
 So was everyone
 I guess something about it felt important
 And we were happy once
 So was everyone
 I guess I never realised it was so important
 What if I was right for someone else?
 And what if I never learn how to live with myself?
 And what if when I leave, you find someone that completes you?
 Will that change anything or will I turn back into a pattern I'm so used to?
 Pattern I'm so used to?
 And we were young once
 So was everyone
 I guess something about it felt important
 And we were happy once
 So was everyone
 I guess I never realised it was so important
 And we were young once
 We were young once
 We were young once
