Hey guys, I'm back with another original song for this week's Steemit Open Mic. Congratulations to all the winners and participants last week. This is a song I wrote called When We Were Young. I hope you enjoy it. Lyrics below.
"Let's go to Spain"
were the first words to touch her tongue
as she awoke.
And I don't think
she'd been dreaming of
a get-away for two
by the way she was trying not to smile.
What's gonna happen when
twenty-five years from now,
we're lookin' back and,
we're thinking about
When we were young
And we were fun
But we were so dumb.
We thought we knew everything about
about love
and about pain
and about everything.
"Listen to the rain"
were the last words to leave her lips
as she closed her eyes.
And I don't claim to know her heart
but I think, I really think
it's mine.
What's gonna happen when
twenty-five years from now,
we're lookin' back and,
we're thinking about
When we were young
And we were fun
But we were so dumb.
We thought we knew everything about
about love
and about pain
and about everything.
Well stick and stones
may break my bones some day.
And my words
may hurt you now.
But you gotta know
I never meant it
What's gonna happen when
twenty-five years from now,
we're lookin' back and,
we're thinking about
When we were young
And we were fun
But we were so dumb.
We thought we knew everything about
about love
and about pain
and about everything.
Thanks for listening,
-Charlie
