We Were Lyrics - 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 couldn't wait to step over the line 

Never thinking we wouldn't last, I was your first and you were mine 

And we were leather jackets, hangin' on to a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight 

We were, both feet hanging 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 it 

I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were 

We were gonna make it work, little baby had it all laid out in her mind 

By the time we knew time was running out we'd done run out of time 

But we were downtown Saturday night, last call, 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 town in Johnson's field when she whispered that she wants me 

At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss it 

I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

We were leather jackets, hangin' on to a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight 

We were, both feet hanging 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 

Yes, I do 

Friends say "Oh well, let that ship sail, you've gotta let go of her" 

Just wasn't meant to be, but somewhere down deep I still believe that we were
