I was in my bedroom at midnight
When I first heard Nirvana
I was sixteen the first time
I told a girl I loved her
It was mad at Quarter Bay
When I got my first taste of booze
Where were you?
Where were you?

When I was pouring out my heart
For a few dollars in a jar
When I sold a few dreams
Just to buy a used car
Back when I was still figuring out
What a man's supposed to do
Where were you?
Yeah, where were you?

I wanna know every second of your story
All the highs and the lows
All the grit, all the glory
Who'd ya kiss, who'd ya hurt?
What band was on your shirt?
Where were you?
Where were you?

Was your heart gettin' broke
When someone was bendin' mine?
When I was lookin' for a reason
Were you lookin' for a rhyme?
When I was talkin' to the stars
Were you confessing to the moon?
I wish I knew
Where were you?

Yeah, I wanna know every second of your story
All the highs and the lows
All the grit, all the glory
Who'd ya kiss, who'd ya hurt?
What band was on your shirt?
Where were you?
Where were you?

Yeah, I wanna hear
'Bout the bottom of your heart breaks
Your champagne year
Was it New York, was it LA?
When you got up, when you fell
When you finally found yourself
Where were you? (Where were you?)
Where were you? (Where were you?)
Yeah

Your last and your first
Your best and your worst
All the twists, all the turns
All the diamonds in the dirt
Yeah, I wanna know
Yeah, I wanna know

Who'd ya kiss, who'd ya hurt?
What band was on your shirt?

I wanna hear
'Bout the bottom of your heart breaks
Your champagne year
Was it New York, was it LA?
When you got up, when you fell
When you finally found yourself
Where were you? (Where were you?)
Where were you? (Where were you?)

When you got up, when you fell
When you finally found yourself
Where were you?
Where were you?
