We Were Only Young - Kodaline
Walkin' alone in the city, hearin' the sound of the rain
I thought that I saw you on fifth street, I suddenly missed you again
Remember the night in the taxi? You said you were movin' away
Holdin' your hand in the backseat, wish could call you and say
There are things that I could've done better
Things I wish I had said, but I never
Got the chance, now I know that the moment is gone
Oh, life goes on
Every little word you said, you know I meant it
Every little touch you gave, you know I felt it
We were only young
We were only young
Heavy on my heart, I wish it never ended
Even at the start, I didn't understand that
You were movin' on
You don't know what you've got until it's gone
Gone, gone
You don't know what you've got until it's—
I know if I make it to eighties, I'll always remember your name
'Cause you came along and changed me, I guess what I'm trying to say is
There are things that I could've done better
Things I wish I had said, but I never
Got the chance, now I know that the moment is gone
Oh, life goes on
Every little word you said, you know I meant it
Every little touch you gave, you know I felt it
We were only young
We were only young
Heavy on my heart, I wish it never ended
Even at the start, I didn't understand that
You were movin' on
You don't know what you've got until it's gone
Gone, gone
You don't know what you've got until it's gone
Gone, gone
We were only young
Every little word you said, you know I meant it
Every little touch you gave, you know I felt it
We were only young
We were only young
Heavy on my heart, I wish it never ended
Even at the start, I didn't understand that
You were movin' on
You don't know what you've got until it's gone
Gone, gone.
