lyrics

I was cold
I came in for the shelter
Thinking of the weather
And of the ride home
My feet were numb

You were there
Sitting in the corner
Speaking to another
I could not hear
Your voice a whisper

We were young, Oh so young
We were running before the wind
We were young, Oh so young
We were headstrong
We knew we'd win

I could see
Your face had gotten older
Your hair a little grayer
But your eyes
They were the same
And you smiled
Feigned a little laughter
Spoke about your daughter
Your world had changed
You had a picture

But I remember the dreams of a life together
When we were bolder and we were better
And I believed
We would force the wheel
We'd reverse the odds
Push beyond the fear

So it is
Ordinary people
Living far too little
Our dreams discarded
But we remember

We were young, Oh so young
We were running before the wind
We were young, Oh so young
We were headstrong
We knew we'd win

We were ready and hungry to win
