When We Were Younger

Back when we weren’t older dear
Back when we were sober here
On that hilltop where we’d run
Where we’d take photographs crippled by the sun
We were young
Oh my God I’ve heard we’re one
But we were young and didn’t know the significance
But in that garden hind' your father’s house
Our knees were soiled to the color of your blouse
We were young, oh, we were younger
We were told we’d always be younger
Did we ever love, were we just kids who knew nothing of it?
Did we ever love, were we just kids?
And fearlessly I’d march that victory home
And I’d stare at the ceiling
Then with the taste of cinnamon that begged to be left alone
Oh, we were younger
We were told we’d always be younger
