Lyrics
Ev ’ry bod y loves the things you do,
from the way you talk
to the way you move.
Ev ’ry bod y here is watch ing you.
’Cause you feel like home,
you’re like a dream come true.
But if by chance you’re here a lone,
can I have a mo ment
be fore I go?
’Cause I’ve been by my self all night long,
hop ing you’re some one
I used to know.
You You look like a mo vie,
you you sound like a song,
my God, this re minds me
of when we were young.
Let me pho to graph you in this light, in case it is the last time that we might be ex act ly like we were be fore we re al ized we were sad of get ting old, it made us rest less.
It was just like a mo vie,
it was just like a song.
I was so scared to face my fears
’cause no bod y told me
that you’d be here.
’Cause And I swear you moved o ver seas,
that’s what you some said,
when you left me.
You still look like a mo vie,
you still sound like a song,
my God, this re minds me
of when we were young.
Let me pho to graph you in this light, in case it is the last time that we might be ex act ly like we were be fore we re al ized we were sad of get ting old, it made us rest less.
It was just like a mo vie,
it was just like a song.
vie,
it was just like a song.
(When we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young.)
It’s hard
to ad mit that ev ’ry thing just takes me back to when you were there,
to when you were there.
And a part of me keeps hold ing on, just in case it has n’t gone, I guess I still care.
Do you still care?
It was just like a mo vie,
it was just like a song,
my God, this re minds me
of when we were young.
(When we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young.)
Let me pho to graph you in this light, in case it is the last time that we might be ex act ly like we were be fore we re al ized we were sad of get ting old, it made us rest less.
Oh, I’m so mad, I’m get ting old, it makes me reck less.
It was just like a mo vie,
it was just like a song
when we were young.
