Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I used to run through summers like they'd never end
I used to think that every stranger was a friend
I used to leap before I ever looked below
Used to chase the future without letting it show
[chorus]
I used to be young, wild and reckless and free
I used to be young, before the weight found me
But I still got a fire even if it's slowed
I used to be young, now I carry what I've grown
Used to be young, used to be young
Still got a little of that fire I begun
[verse]
Some nights I miss the version of me nobody warned
The one who danced through heartbreak like it wasn't torn
But growing doesn't mean I lost the girl I was
I just learned to carry her a little slower, just because
[chorus]
I used to be young, wild and reckless and free
I used to be young, before the weight found me
But I still got a fire even if it's slowed
I used to be young, now I carry what I've grown
Used to be young, used to be young
Still got a little of that fire I begun
[bridge]
No, I don't regret a single reckless year
I don't regret the girl who had no fear
She's still in here somewhere, a little more aware
Still dancing when she wants to, still doesn't seem to care
[chorus]
I used to be young, wild and reckless and free
I used to be young, before the weight found me
But I still got a fire even if it's slowed
I used to be young, now I carry what I've grown
Used to be young, used to be young
Still got a little of that fire I begun
