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
