[Verse 1]
I found a picture of us when we were kids
We're out in a field behind where we used to live
I'm chasing you, chasing him in a far away dream
We're running in grass that's so tall, we can barely be seen
[Chorus]
Come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
All of the years in between, just let 'em fly by
Under the arc of the sky, I won't let go
Under the summer trees, I loved you so
[Verse 2]
We're lying side by side all alone in the dark
Afraid of the sounds in the house, a telltale heart
So you're telling stories of places to take me away
And I'm singing songs that we learned as the radio plays
[Chorus]
So come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
And all of the pain that you've had, just leave it behind
Under the arc of the sky, I won't let go
Under the Grandfather trees, I loved you so
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, let's drive
Oh, let's drive
[Bridge]
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
[Outro]
(We were young)
I remember everything (We were free)
Everything you said to me (Ruled the world)
And I would never be afraid (You and me)
As long as you were next to me (We were young)
I remember everything (We were free)
All the things you said to me (Ruled the world)
I would never be afraid (You and me)
As long as you were next to me
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
I found a picture of us when we were kids
We're out in a field behind where we used to live
I'm chasing you, chasing him in a far away dream
We're running in grass that's so tall, we can barely be seen
[Chorus]
Come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
All of the years in between, just let 'em fly by
Under the arc of the sky, I won't let go
Under the summer trees, I loved you so
[Verse 2]
We're lying side by side all alone in the dark
Afraid of the sounds in the house, a telltale heart
So you're telling stories of places to take me away
And I'm singing songs that we learned as the radio plays
[Chorus]
So come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
And all of the pain that you've had, just leave it behind
Under the arc of the sky, I won't let go
Under the Grandfather trees, I loved you so
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, let's drive
Oh, let's drive
[Bridge]
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
[Outro]
(We were young)
I remember everything (We were free)
Everything you said to me (Ruled the world)
And I would never be afraid (You and me)
As long as you were next to me (We were young)
I remember everything (We were free)
All the things you said to me (Ruled the world)
I would never be afraid (You and me)
As long as you were next to me
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
