As It Is - John Hughes lyrics
[As It Is - John Hughes lyrics]
How long's it been since I was young?
Fifteen years since wooden guns
Six years since playing board games
Was anywhere near fun
And it'd be over-dramatic to
Say the world'll
Forget about me on its way
But that's not always enough to keep cursing
The whole of the Earth at bay
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that
Because we've all felt unsung from
Every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was
Easier when we were young
How long's it been since 'overwhelmed' was
Still a word I couldn't spell
Let alone the most obvious choice for
A word to define myself?
I never thought I'd be this young a man
To be doubting the cards in these hands
That jitter and shake half the time from the
Coffee I drink and rely on to stand
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that
Because we've all felt unsung from
Every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was
Easier when we were young
Because we've all felt unsung from
Every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was
Easier when we were young
There'll be days when we lose
Our way like a feather
(What are we destined for?)
But we all live and we die in this cold
Cold world together
(What are we destined for?)
What are we destined for?
No one knows me like John Hughes did
(Cause we've all felt)
No one knows me like John Hughes did
(Unsung from every mouth and every lung)
We've all felt
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
That life was easier when we were young
We've all felt unsung from every
Mouth and every lung
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
Cause we've all felt
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
That life was easier when we were young
Fifteen years since wooden guns
Six years since playing board games
Was anywhere near fun
And it'd be over-dramatic to
Say the world'll
Forget about me on its way
But that's not always enough to keep cursing
The whole of the Earth at bay
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that
Because we've all felt unsung from
Every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was
Easier when we were young
How long's it been since 'overwhelmed' was
Still a word I couldn't spell
Let alone the most obvious choice for
A word to define myself?
I never thought I'd be this young a man
To be doubting the cards in these hands
That jitter and shake half the time from the
Coffee I drink and rely on to stand
No one knows me like John Hughes did
I think we all relate to that
Because we've all felt unsung from
Every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was
Easier when we were young
Because we've all felt unsung from
Every mouth and every lung
We've all felt that life was
Easier when we were young
There'll be days when we lose
Our way like a feather
(What are we destined for?)
But we all live and we die in this cold
Cold world together
(What are we destined for?)
What are we destined for?
No one knows me like John Hughes did
(Cause we've all felt)
No one knows me like John Hughes did
(Unsung from every mouth and every lung)
We've all felt
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
That life was easier when we were young
We've all felt unsung from every
Mouth and every lung
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
Cause we've all felt
(No one knows me like John Hughes did)
That life was easier when we were young
