When I Was Young (Acoustic)

Lyrics

It's amazing how much time love saves you at first
 When you rediscover your reason to work
 And your aimless dreaming has found a target and
 You normalize and greet all function returned
 Came home early, a quarter to two
 I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you
 We carry pictures in our pretend wallets
 Of ourselves in heavily edited seventies
 With better handwriting and longer days at the park
 And dinners with no drama, the Professor, and Mary Ann
 Came home early, a quarter to two
 I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you
 When I was young
 I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
 Now I've grown up
 I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
 When I was young
 I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
 Now I've grown up
 I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
 What was that world I was dreaming of?
 What was that world I was dreaming of?
 Late summer return
 Airless apartment I lean out the window
 Deals on the regular shirts
 Same fright delight as last year more so
 When I was young
 I didn't know if I was better off asleep or up
 Now I've grown up
 I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
 What was that world I was dreaming of?
 What was that world I was dreaming of?
 Now I've grown up
 I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of?
 What was that world I was dreaming of?
 What was that world I was dreaming of?
