I recall us sneaking across the tracks We were young at heart And our minds were filled with ease We read the writings on the walls there And we laughed at all the silly things they said We figured it had something to do with politics About how wanting everything is not a crime Now our fathers are coming out here to get us And they will brings us home And they will be angry at us at best You were making me feel Like the youngest man alive Can't someone write a book about it? I'm the youngest man alive Now morning is here And we've said our first goodbye I recall us sneaking across the tracks We must have talked about this A million times or more I still remember the words that you whispered You said we will fall, no matter what we do There will be no understanding 'Cause we stole this love and we didn't even ask Now our fathers are coming out here to get us And they will bring us home And they will be angry at us at best You were making me feel Like the youngest man alive Can't someone write a book about it? I'm the youngest man alive Now morning is here And we've said our first goodbye
