The Smith Street Band - Young Once lyrics
[The Smith Street Band - Young Once lyrics]
I was so damn clever in my own little world
Gone and made the perfect gesture
For the perfect girl
But nothing ever really works out like that
On the day and the day after
The feeling of disaster that I've
Truly got to know
In the months since I came home came back
Nothing ever really works out like that
And we were young once so was everyone
I guess something about it felt important
If I could remember the name
Of everyone I'd kissed
Does that mean they'd remember mine?
Was there something in that momentary bliss?
Such a beautiful waste of time
Today we sat together like the
Family we had made
And it was real and it was something
And we ate off plastic plates
And we all work our dream jobs
And I'm not lacking in ambition
I am a building of a
Person that's scheduled for demolition
And we were young once so was everyone
I guess something about it felt important
And we were happy once so was everyone
I guess I never realised it was so important
What if I was right for someone else?
And what if I never learn
How to live with myself?
And what if when I leave
You find someone that completes you?
Will that change anything
Or will I turn back into a
Pattern I'm so used to?
Pattern I'm so used to
And we were young once so was everyone
I guess something about it felt important
And we were happy once so was everyone
I guess I never realised it was so important
And we were young once we were young once
We were young once
Again, again again, again
We were happy once again, again
