We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashbacks starts
I'm standing there
In the woods in summer air
See the animals; see your bow and arrow
See you make your way carrying your bow
To get some food
You were so shrewd
You were Katniss
And Prim would get chosen
And you'd step up and said, "I volunteer"
And you'd be crying at the reaping
You wouldn't let her go
And I said,
"Katniss you're going into the Hunger Games
I'll be waiting when the Games are done
Try really hard and I'll give you a kiss
It's our life story, Katniss just win this"
We look on the TV to see you
You sneak 'round 'cause you're dead they find you
So don't close you're eyes
One wrong move could be your last
You were Katniss
And Prim did get chosen
And you stepped up and said, "I volunteer"
And you were crying at the reaping
You wouldn't let her go
And I said,
"Katniss you're going into the Hunger Games
I'll be waiting when the Games are done
Try really hard and I'll give you a kiss
It's our life story, Katniss just win this"
"Katniss keep going don't let them control you
This life is difficult but it's ours
I know you're afraid, will we make it out of this mess
It's our life story, Katniss just win this"
I never gave up hope
Wondering if you'd come back alive
Don't know how we learned to cope
I knew you'd try to survive
And I said,
"Katniss beat them; they're trying to change you
I keep waiting for you to be the Victress
Is this in my head?
I don't know what to think
You stood up taller
Pulled out some berries and said,
"Gamemakers watch this we're both gonna die here"
I knew her word had to fill them with fear
"I talked to Peeta we're rebelling your Game
It's our life story and where going to win this"
We were both young when I first saw you
