When We Were Young Lyrics By Adele

    everybody loves the things you do
    from the way you talk to the way you move
    everybody here is watching you
    ’cause you feel like home you’re like a dream come true
    but if by chance you’re here alone
    can i have a moment before i go
    ’cause i’ve been by myself all night long
    hoping you’re someone i used to know

    pre
    you look like a movie
    you sound like a song
    my god this reminds me
    of when we were young

    let me photograph you in this light
    in case it is the last time that we might
    be exactly like we were before we realised
    we were sad of getting old it made us restless
    it was just like a movie
    it was just like a song

    i was so scared to face my fears
    nobody told me that you’d be here
    and i swear you’d moved overseas
    that’s what you said when you left me

    pre
    you still look like a movie
    you still sound like a song
    my god this reminds me
    of when we were young

    let me photograph you in this light
    in case it is the last time that we might
    be exactly like we were before we realised
    we were sad of getting old it made us restless
    it was just like a movie
    it was just like a song

    refrain
    when we were young
    when we were young
    when we were young
    when we were young

    it’s hard to admit that everything just takes me back
    to when you were there to when you were there
    and a part of me keeps holding on just in case it hasn’t gone
    ’cause i still care do you still care

    breakdown
    it was just like a movie
    it was just like a song
    my god this reminds me
    of when we were young

    refrain
    when we were young
    when we were young
    when we were young
    when we were young

    let me photograph you in this light
    in case it is the last time that we might
    be exactly like we were before we realised
    we were sad of getting old it made us restless
    oh i’m so mad i’m getting old it makes me reckless
    it was just like a movie
    it was just like a song
    when we were young
