Hillsburn - When We Were Young Lyrics

I'm pretty sure I will never be the king of some great nation
I'm pretty sure you will never fly a rocket 'round the sun

When we were young, when we were young
The whole world hung like fruit for the taking

And now I'm pretty sure I will never learn to speak a second language
I'm pretty sure you will never learn what made your father run

When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
The whole world hung like fruit for the taking

Well, it's harder, I guess, doing your best
When you're under duress
You hollow your chest just to better digest
The fact that you're wasting your life

I put my tie on in the morning
From now on I will go 'round tie less
I'm pretty sure you will come to throw all your pills away

When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
The whole world hung like fruit for the taking
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
We'd scream and run just 'cause we liked it

(Ba ba, ba da da da)
(Ba ba, ba da da da)
Oh, oh

Well, it's harder, I guess, doing your best
When you're under duress
You hollow your chest just to try and undress
This waking at night, wondering
How the hell'd you mess it?
What the hell you'd miss?
Well, it's harder, I guess, doing your best
When you're under duress
You hollow your chest just to better digest
The fact that you're wasting your life

Oh, when we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
The whole world hung like fruit for the taking
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
When we were young (ba ba, ba da da da)
We'd scream and run just 'cause we liked it
