[ Featuring the Locomotive ]
Before you were born
There was a building on the corner
It stood a hundred stories high and now its growing even more
In it everyone that came before me passed through
Everyone that knows you, soon you'll know too
Before you were born
There was a whole world that spun
It spun out of control but we still held on
Everything that was important doesn't matter anymore
We used to stress over nothing before you were born
Before you were born
We all wore tight pants
And we looked so young, and we smoked cigarettes
You wouldn't believe the time before the internet
But i'd never go back because you weren't there yet
Before you were born
I used to stay up late
I still do sometimes just to get my space
No matter how tired I'll be come the morning time
I promise I'll wake up just to see you smile
Before you were born
Everything looked a little different
Everyone acted so busy
There was a whole neighborhood over there that is gone
But no matter how the landscape changes
Nothing could change the world like you
Before you were born
I don't know how many times
I've driven these same streets, and never realized
The speed at which the other cars
Around me seem to fly
Everything slowed down
The day I saw your eyes
Before you were born
We travelled all around
Ate so much good food that someday you'll love too
I hope you aren't scared to fly
Because the next time we go
You might be on that plane
Down to Mexico
Before you were born
I played guitar in a band
My parents did too, maybe we could all jam
I still write songs and play them in a bar sometimes
I bet you're gonna be the greatest singer of all time
