Urban, Keith - We Were Lyrics






We were just a couple years short of the age by my name on a fake ID
And still, 'bout a hundred away from the day your daddy said you could run with me
We were a couple of line-steppers who just couldn't wait to step over the line
Never thinking we wouldn't last, I was your first and you were mine

And we were leather jackets, hangin' on to a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight
We were, both feet hanging out over the edge of the water tower skyline
At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss it
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

We were gonna make it work, little baby had it all laid out in her mind
By the time we knew time was running out we'd done run out of time
But we were downtown Saturday night, last call, cover band
'Til the last song played, never thought we'd fade like the stamp on the back of her hand

We were, her on my shoulders, lighter in the air, pour some sugar on me
We were a top town in Johnson's field when she whispered that she wants me
At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss it
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were

We were leather jackets, hangin' on to a Harley, two heartbeats in the moonlight
We were, both feet hanging out over the edge of the water tower skyline
At least there's a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss her
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
Yes, I do

Friends say "Oh well, let that ship sail, you've gotta let go of her"
Just wasn't meant to be, but somewhere down deep I still believe that we were

    When I hear this I think of all of my best friends who I moved away from. I miss those good times we had together. We were basically brothers. Sadly had to all part ways:(

  12. K.... H....

    This is awesome. I love how they did it all in one take. That was probably really hard to do. I also like the part when he gets on the phone. :-) Really cool video. Love Keith Urban, he needs to make more songs like this and less poppy stuff like The Fighter or Coming Home.

  13. L.... C....

    Keith, you always know how to hit right to the heart. But I do love your music, even if sometimes one of your songs make me cry. Still gonna keep right on playing them and keep on listening.

  14. S.... L....

    Love him and he plays a sweet guitar plus all other stringed instruments!

  15. J.... S....

    He never fails to kick ass and does it right every-time!

    Does anyone else think he sounds like Eric Church in this song.

  18. L.... H....

    This song just flows so well! I listen to it and think back to how the old classic country was sung. This is like a modern version of classic. The new soft door opening to a new era of country music. Just love it!

  19. m.... m....

    YOU LITERALLY TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

  20. W.... B....

    Goosebumps!!!!!! Love it!!!!

    For all my EX's

  31. B.... G....

    Beautifully written and performed!!🎶💜

  32. S.... H....

    Perfect timing I fee this song so much right now. Going through a brake up I caused and I still love her more then life it’s self. She is falling in love with someone else. I can’t stop thinking of her and our good times. I can’t believe she is sharing special moments with someone else when it was me she shared those times with just a few months ago. I fear I will always have this pain because there was a time we could have been together forever. I will always regret not realizing this until she was gone.

  33. S.... F....

    EPIC, beautifully delivered. Perfect for this Christmas holiday season. This song touches my soul, brings such joy and happiness.

  34. R.... G....

    💙always Monica I’ll never forget u

  36. B.... G....

    I’ve always wondered if this is based on a true story

  37. s.... s....

    Super grüße von germany

  38. D.... S....

    Going through hell with my girlfriend over something I did. I can’t lose her

  39. B.... P....

    Close to the end I saw that keith’s guitar looked like the pattern on an evoker in Minecraft who else sees that?

  40. J.... M....

    I love this song 💛

  44. G.... B....

    Over and over this goes on my phone. He plays the hell out of the guitar and sings with such passion. Nicole is a lucky woman

  45. M.... S....

    Good morning

  46. M.... C....

    That is awesome song and video..i love everything about it😊a ma zing..great..im glad to have taken time to watch.

  47. A.... P....

    I just came here to speed up the video and see what happens

  48. G.... S....

    I just miss who I was when we were. This song makes me long for that long ago yesterday WHEN, we were. Well done Keith Urban

  49. p.... n....

    Holding on to the past is a silly thing, but opening up to let someone else in is basically impossible. It’s crazy when wherever you go, whoever you meet, they all remind you of that one person. On the day you let go of his hand, you already knew that your heart would hardly open up to anyone else.

  50. T.... B....

    Oh well, let that ship sail. Life is extremely humbling in every aspect. Don't sink let it sail 🖤

  51. T.... ....

    I only thing wrong with this song is that it ends!!

  52. S.... V....

    There's that hot guy again! Yeah(-:

  53. B.... B....

    ‘Vegan leather jackets holdin onto a electric Harley’ - it’s better for people, animals & the planet. ; )

  54. J.... 6....

    I feel like he should have won a reward at the CMAs or ACMs yesterday

    J.... 6....

    I agree. Keith wirhout a doubt should have won. Ummm age looks good on this gorgeous man. Besides his Talent making him super sexy

    J.... 6....

    True that!

  55. K.... Z....

    Such a beautiful man.

  56. D.... A....

    Keith urban never fails to amaze me hes wonderful and to good for niicolr

  57. a.... j....

    It's my first time hearing this country song and I already love it👌. Reminds of my ex girlfriend who had to move so far away 😔.

  58. M.... S....

    We were my husband and me. Lost him to cancer but this song makes me think of us. We were steam. Half of me is gone. I miss when we were

    M.... S....

    Meant to say a Team

  59. M.... D....

  60. D.... B....

  69. L.... L....

  70. L.... D....

    This song creates an image in my head. It's like reading a really good book where you understand and you can create the scenario in your head. But that's the thing of a song. A song is story. That you listen to

  71. r.... ....

    Urban, these movements, cut neckline, hairstyles are very feminine. I always have mixed feelings about his orientation when I look at him. I feel sorry for NIC. She is not such a cool person.

  72. C.... S....

    I loooooove this at 146 llove the part

  73. r.... ....

    great lyrics, congratulations Eric, because almost all the glory belongs to Keith, and yet he is only the performer of this song.

  74. C.... D....

    And what the hell's on your back

  75. C.... D....

    Look at Keith he thinking he knows WTF that mixing board even does at all but hey Great song though

  76. D.... S....

    Omg this is so Perfect. 😃❤❤❤

  77. C.... b....

  80. A.... B....

    Results from a feeling
    No good

  82. R.... S....

    My mom and I really like Keith Urban. This song is beautiful. Wow another powerful song with Eric Church. He was on the show Jay Leno’s garage this season. I could not get over how cool he is. What a truly gifted person God has blessed us with. Thank you God for allowing us the gift of Keith Urban

    This has Eric Church's lyrical genius written all over it, Urban does a good job mind

  89. D.... E....

    I really like the song but why do videos and tv shows use empty coffee cups........

  90. e.... ....

    NICE COUNTRY SONG! SOUNDS SO GOOD! CONGRATS KEITH!

  91. T.... R....

    You'll think of me

  92. m.... ....

    Full disclosure, I’ve never been a massive fan of KU but this one blew me away.

  93. g.... s....

    This is one of those songs you play at 3am when you’re sobbing about the person you fell in love with but you know that they will never fall in love with you. It hits hard.

    g.... s....

    Hard to fall in love with anybody new when u can't fall out of it

    g.... s....

    True Stephanie

    g.... s....

    Grace you have think that you are special and if they cant see that then its their lost. If you have a good heart then you deserve the person who sees that and wants you. Just find the person who loves for the right reasons.

    g.... s....

    The hardest part is when she tells you she doesn't love you anymore and can't explain why

    g.... s....

    Ikr Antonio

  94. r.... d....

    Wonderful song which proves how the song is created in a most natural way step by step. It's just my imagination could be true or fault. wonderful creation. Thanq. best wishes. God bless. ml

  95. B.... G....
