Raymond talks about how they have let their lives go by and pretend that they’re not in love. They need to embrace their love now before they grow to old or shy to admit it.
[Verse 1]
We've all been waiting for this
But it always comes too quick
Spend our days in the playground
Pretending not to be kids
The girls are in the corner
Already had too much to drink
Boys hide behind their laughter
Like they don't care what girls think
[Chorus]
We'll never be as young as we are now
The faces in the crowd are thinning out
And I'm not saying stick around
But stick around
And we may never have another like today
Tomorrow is a brand new start away
And we'll never be as young as we are now
As we are now
[Verse 2]
We've all been getting tired
Of the streets that we've outgrown
We sit indoors for hours
Now King George has lost his throne
But something out there's calling
A whisper we call home
The nights that I stayed with you
'Cause you didn't want to be alone
[Chorus]
We will never be as young as we are now
The faces in the crowd are thinning out
And I'm not saying stick around
But stick around
And we may never have another like today
Tomorrow is a brand new start away
And we'll never be as young as we are now
As we are now
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
We will never be as young as we are now
The faces in the crowd are thinning out
And I'm not saying stick around
But stick around
And we may never have another like today
Tomorrow is a brand new start away
And we'll never be as young as we are now
As we are now
[Outro]
And we'll never be as young as we are now
And we'll never be as young as we are now, now
And we'll never be as young as we are now
And we'll never be as young as we are now, now
