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
