We Were Lyrics By Keith Urban

    we were just a couple years short of the age
    by my name on a fake id
    and still ’bout a hundred away from the day
    your daddy said you could run with me
    we were a couple of line steppers
    who just couldnt wait to step over the line
    never thinkin’ we wouldn’t last
    i was your first and you were mine

    and we were leather jackets hangin onto a harley
    two heartbeats in the moonlight
    we were both feet hangin’ out over the edge
    of the water tower skyline
    at least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter
    though a part of me is always gonna miss her
    i am who i am i just miss who i was when we were
    mmhmm

    we were gonna make it weren’t we baby
    had it all laid out in our mind
    by the time we knew time was runnin’ out
    we’d done run out of time
    and we were downtown saturday night lastcall cover band
    ’til the last song played never thought we’d fade
    like the stamp on the back of her hand

    we were her on my shoulders lighter in the air
    pour some sugar on me
    we were a top down at johnsons field
    when she whispered that she wants me
    at least theres a little bit of sweet in the bitter
    though a part of me is always gonna miss her
    i am who i am i just miss who i was when we were
    oh mmhmm

    we were leather jackets hangin’ onto a harley
    two heartbeats in the moonlight
    we were both feet hangin out over the edge
    of the water tower skyline
    at least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter
    though a part of me is always gonna miss her
    i am who i am i just miss who i was when we were
    mmm yes i do

    my friends say
    oh well let that ship sail
    you gotta let go of her
    just wasn’t meant to be
    but somewhere down deep i still believe
    that we were
