When I Was Young Lyrics
when i was young
it's amazing how much time
love saves you at first
when you rediscover
your reason to work
and your aimless dreaming
has found a target and
you normalize
and greet all senses returned
came home early
a quarter-to-two
i don't need more wine
i'm coming for you
we carry pictures
in our pretend wallets
of ourselves
in heavily-edited seventies
with better handwriting
and longer days at the park
and dinners with no drama
the professor and mary ann
came home early
a quarter-to-two
i don't need more wine
i'm coming for you
when i was young
i didn't know if i was better off
asleep or up

now i've grown up
i wonder what was that world
i was dreaming of?
late summer return
airless apartment
i lean out the window
deals on irregular shirts
same fright/delight as last year
more so
when i was young
i didn't know if i was better off
asleep or up
now i've grown up
i wonder what was that world
i was dreaming of?
