Do you remember when we moved out?

My mum said, "I love you, but it's a small house"

Gave up our town

We were dangerous, couldn't tame us
Em
What's missing now?
G G Em
Time, suddenly we got no time
Em G
We're so busy doing life
G Em Em
That I miss your eyes on mine, mine
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
If you just focus on me

Like we were sixteen

And plotting our lives

Can I wear your t-shirt

And sleep on you

While I dream of all the good times?

You're too young, too stupid, don't lose your head
