When I was young Life was easy Sweet message sent Quickly spent Asphalt and blood Stained on daddy Free from fury When I was young When I was young
When I was one Before it split me Wrestle with stones Answered in dust Accidents and wars Loitered up childhood God and his thunderstorms When I was one
The ocean's weight Could not keep me home And I keep falling off Without you here Never come Never morning We just let the day Be what it be
When I was old Ain't life terrible With beautiful things Getting between Painted angels Laced in nicotine Filled up with aspartame When I was old
The ocean's weight Could not keep me home And I keep falling off Without you here Never come Never morning We just let the day Be what it be
The air blows through The city sings a tune While we all drown in dew From mourning stars Making love Face to face And crooked poetry With no embrace
When I was young Life was easy Lying quietly When I was young When I was young
