Write your name on the wall
'Cause you're afraid of being forgotten
Change your clothes, cut your hair
You're fighting for something
You see and feel
But it's just out of reach
Take me back to the days
Where my friends and I played
Love for keeps
I was only fifteen when I heard that she liked me
I remember my thoughts went so wild
That I danced through the hall
Jumping on tables and chairs
Like I didn't care
And I thought to myself, "I know it's the first time
But maybe it's love
And I don't want to curse it by saying my thoughts out loud
Pouring my young heart out."
Ooh, when we were young
No one could hold us
We did what we want
Ooh. I miss being free
Take me back to the days
Where my friends and I played
Love for keeps
I kissed her there behind the swimming pool
We ran through the fields when they came to look for us
We hid in the shadows
Slipped through the backdoor
Made all of those promises
And I kissed you once more
I whispered some words
I said what you meant to me
I can't keep a secret
For longer than yesterday
Now we're just memories
Now we're just names on the wall
Ooh, when we were young
No one could hold us
We did what we want
Ooh. I miss being free
Take me back to the days
Where my friends and I played
Love for keeps
Write your name on the wall
'Cause you're afraid of being forgotten
Change your clothes, cut your hair
You're fighting for something
You see and feel
But it's just out of reach
Take me back to the days
Where my friends and I played
Love for keeps
