Lyric

We were young

We were loud

Didn't know

What life was about

But somehow

After all this time

I still hear that sound

Old photographs inside my phone

Different faces, different homes

Friends I thought would always stay

Dreams that slowly changed their shape

We were running through the night

Chasing every flashing light

Never thinking years would fly

Never learning how to say goodbye

But every road

Every mistake

Every heart

I had to break

Brought me right back here tonight

We were never gone

We were just becoming

Something stronger

Something new

All those endless nights

All those summer mornings

Somehow led me back to you

Turn it up

Let the whole world know

Ten years later

I still feel it in my soul

We were never gone

We were growing all along

Oh-oh-oh

We were never gone

Oh-oh-oh

Still holding on

Oh-oh-oh

Take me back

Take me home

We were never gone

Now the mirror knows my age

But I still recognize that face

Maybe life has changed my name

But the music feels the same

Somewhere underneath the noise

Lives that reckless younger boy

Still believing every night

Could somehow last for all our lives

Every loss

Every win

Every place

I've ever been

Led me right back here again

We were never gone

We were just becoming

Something stronger

Something new

All those endless nights

All those summer mornings

Somehow led me back to you

Turn it up

Let the whole world know

Ten years later

I still feel it in my soul

We were never gone

We were growing all along

If I could talk

To seventeen

I'd tell that kid

Don't rush a thing

You'll lose some friends

You'll change your plans

You'll fall apart

You'll understand

And one day when

That old beat drops

You'll close your eyes

And time will stop

One more night

One more chance

One more song

Raise your hands

Three

Two

One

We were never gone

We were just becoming

Who we always had to be

Every broken road

Every changing season

Brought this moment back to me

Turn it up

Let the whole world know

Years may change us

But they can't erase the soul

We were never gone

We were living all along

Oh-oh-oh

We were never gone

Oh-oh-oh

Still holding on

Raise your hands

One more time

We're still here

We're still alive

We were never gone
