Broder Daniel We Were Winning (long Version) Lyrics

We Were Winning (long Version) Lyrics

oh when we were seventeen



oh life was like a film



when we were seventeen



the sky was always tangerine



we ran through streets at night



under starlight



we ran through streets at night



when we were winning







oh wild was the world



and wild we burned



we were kings of the streets



not yet beaten by defeats



but now it's hard to see



through a fog of memories



but I remember



when we were winning







now my friends are unemployed



not needed in this world



pushed down by this town and always turned down



but in dreams at night



they can sometimes recall



when we were heroes



when we were winning







There was a girl that I loved



I have her photograph



It seems long ago



or was it yesterday?



She was a glimpse of life



a life that I missed



the chance I ever got



when we were winning







I thought I saw here today



thru a crowd in the street



I tried to run up to her



and my heart was beating fast



but she was already gone



she was lost in the crowd



but will I see her again



in the street or on a bus?



and can it be true



love never really dies



and is there still a chance



the fire never dies







I was out walking yesterday



I passed my old school



and I started to think back



to when I was a boy there



and all my classmates



they got real jobs now



but we are walking along



the same streets were I was born







what have we done to our lives?



we could've been anything



we gave it our love for what?



this is the time







and when I was growing up



my mom held a job



employed by the state



at the local school



she used to smell in her mouth



as she always used to sing



she let her hair down in spring



when we were winning







but she was worned out



she had to quit her job



and after 30 years of work



now shes got nothing



she says she hates her life



and her marriage has failed



but don't lay down and die



pleeease be alive







oh it's in the air at night



there's a wind coming in



the days dying



oh it's so beautiful



there's something happening somewhere



I take the bus in to town



all I see is laughing



and we are winning







soon I grow older



but god knows I haven't lived yet



before tonight's the memory



let's go out



I'm still young







ahhhhh aaaaahh aaaaaah aaaaaaah



aaaaahhh aaaaah aaaaaaaaaah







life doesn't wait
