It was only yesterday, we were young and running free
We had the world, we were only seventeen
It was a better time, a time we thought would never end
We were the youth, we were all the best of friendsRemember Friday nights on the back streets
Remember ladies of the nightWe were the young and innocent, remember the nights
Where did the times go wrong, we'll never know
We were the young and innocent
Come aliveWhere did Johnny go? I hear he runs the local store
The home coming king and queen
Now hold their own courtFilm at eleven, shows a casualty
The face is one I used to knowWe were the young and innocent, remember the nights
Where did the times go wrong, we'll never know
We were the young and innocent
Come aliveThe years have come and gone but I still can see
The memories have just begunWe were the young and innocent, remember the nights
Where did the times go wrong, we'll never know
We were the young and innocent
Come aliveWe were the young and innocent, forever the nights
Keep all our memories alive
We gotta keep 'em aliveWe were the young and innocent, remember the nights
Where did the times go wrong, we'll never know
We were the young and innocent
Come alive
