lyrics
back before the west was won
when you painted your eyes
and i stole the sun
we cried about tomorrow
like it was going out of style
and the rays that we collected
although mutually infected
were sincere at their best
and hip at their worst
we sang la, la, la, la, la,
like we just didn't care
and i kissed all your mistakes
and you cut off all my hair
CHORUS
we were drinking cherry coca-cola
wanted to name the baby minnesota
we never will forget
living off those sunsets
we were dreaming crazy, crooked highways
and when we kissed we always did it sideways
somebody hold the phone
no matter where we were
we never were alone
we never were alone
we always were alone
the night the alamo burned down
we packed our bags and skipped out of town
we wrote about that night
but the words were never right
so we broke our bones to disco
tore some holes through san francisco
walked the early morning streets
and felt the future in our feet
we sang la, la, la, la, la,
like we were never there
and you took off all my clothes
and you never learned to share
CHORUS
we were on fire when we were young
we were on fire when we were young
we were on fire when we were young
we were on fire when we were young
