Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over, you can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up

Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
To meet a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too
Much to have had to let go

We turn our music down
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now"

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over, you can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up

Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
I'm so glad that the truth
Has brought back together me and you

We're sitting on the ground (we're sitting on the ground)
And we whisper (and we whisper)
"Say what you're thinking out loud"

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over, you can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up

We turn our music down and we whisper
We're sitting on the ground and we whisper
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss, girl
We will kiss, girl

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over, you can have the best of me
We got older but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
Feeling that we can't-
We're not ready to give up

We got older, but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up

    This is a great song. I like the beginning the best, with the guitar and everything. This is my pal Chris's song.
