[Verse 1]
We were young
Swimming in ambition,
And the sea was calm
Aqueous transmission,
And you made the call
It was your volition,
So I gave it all
I gave it all to you
Had your back
When you rode mine it came on like
A heart attack
I was pretty into that
Adrift in time
Counting bubbles; naming facts-
That boss your mind
Around your subtle troubled past
I tread inside
You let me love your life for you,
Let me fight your tears to hide
The truth that I am crying too
It goes so deep
But when you sleep, you're next to me
And we are...
We were happy
[Bridge]
But where are we now?
Where are we now?
[Verse 2]
Where are we now?
Aching, bruised and sore
Where are we now?
Wasn't ready for a storm
Where are we now?
Lost all what was ours
Where are we now-
That lightning stole the stars?
Where are we now?
All I see are waves!
Rage and rain and thunder
Going under to our graves
[Verse 3]
We were young
But everyone gets older,
And despite the sun
The water's so much colder,
And the sea is calm
these days my body barely hurts,
reflecting in the blue,
but somehow silent's worse
Where we are now
Where we are now
[Outro]
Where we are now,
Where we are now...
