Will you stay?
I want to hold onto the time
That’s flying by with me
Will you go? (Will you go?)
What look will we have on our faces when we stand (Ah-ah)
I can’t remember the dawns anymore
Say
Oh, I’m runnin’ round in a daze
We been walkin’ so many ways
Feels like my heart’s about to burst
Can’t you see the take two?
Stories unfoldin’ just for you
Youth with you by my side
Take my hands now
Yeah, we never felt so young
When together, sing the song
Meeting with each other’s eyes
Even in the darkness
Yeah, we never felt so right
When I got you by my side
Along the road, we walked together
Oh, we young forever
Even when the desert becomes the sea, we swim together
Even the lonely whales, we’re singing like them now
We’re together so I’m not scared of hoping for eternity
Because you’re my belief and my only reason
You’re my silver lining
You the one who just light me up
Oh, I can always feel you beside me
The sunset hit the building
We are given to each other like this
Say
Oh, I’m runnin’ round in a daze
We been walkin’ so many ways
I hold you in my arms
Can’t you see the take two?
Letters I didn’t send to you
My youth with you
This is the beginning
Yeah, we never felt so young
When together sing the song
Meeting each other’s eyes
Even in the darkness
Yeah, we never felt so right
When I got you by my side
Along the road, we walked together
Oh, we young forever
It was possible because I was with you
I was happy being with you
I breathe in your voice
I stood up with your tears
Do I deserve your love?
The intersection of souls we’ve created over the years
I am so grateful and happy to be with you
Let’s continue to be happy in the future
Yeah, we never felt so young
When together, sing the song
Meeting each other’s eyes
Even if it rains
Yeah, we never felt so right
When I got you by my side (My side)
Follow the stars we hit together
Oh, we young forever
Sing like this (We ain’t never felt so young)
Won’t you hold my hand? (Yeah, we never felt so right)
Need you here tonight (We ain’t never felt so young)
Oh, we young forever (Never felt so young)
Yeah, never felt, never felt so young
