Jay Francis - Where I Was Young Lyrics

Brown hair flowing down your back
There didn't seem to be anything you lacked
Your smile was infectious
You lived life kinda reckless
I was drawn to you
But you weren't drawn to me too
I'd stay up all night dreaming
My watered eyes were gleaming
Like a star you shone
And before long you were gone
It's all in the past now
But feelings seem to last
I just pray
They all don't go this way
When I look back
On the times I used to have
I reminisce
Of the times I shouldn't have missed
To the girls I should've kissed
To dreams I'd only wished
To the things that can only be sung
So take me back to a place
Where I was young
The blue skies seem kinda far
When you're sitting behind a bar
Drinking to stop thinking
Drowning to stop frowning
I was lost
You were always the same
We played the same sad game
I tried to cope
But you just chose dope
The pipe dreams that you followed
Only filled you with sorrow
So you flew away
To were the daffodils play
A place where you felt feeling
Cos normal life wasn't enough
You think you've won
And soon you'll be gone
When I look back
On the times I used to have
I reminisce
Of the times I shouldn't have missed
To the girls I should've kissed
To dreams I'd only wished
To the things that can only be sung
So take me back to a place
Where I was young
The same four walls end up looking the same
And for that your not to blame
You stare out in wonder
Cos there there isn't thunder
Things seem bright there
You could get there you might
The devils been stealing
And he's left you grieving
So all you can do
Is care for those who love you too
You put your heart and your soul
Into one small goal
You have to keep giving
To make sure you keep living
When I look back
On the times I used to have
I reminisce
Of the times I shouldn't have missed
To the girls I should've kissed
To dreams I'd only dreamed
To the things that can only be sung
So take me back to a place
Where I was young
