I Used to be Young

Somewhere hidden in the shadows Of a place I used to know There's a world that's slowly fadin' from my mind And sometimes it sneaks right back to me When I'm driftin' off to sleep And I get a glance at the life I've left behind In between the rush of daylight And the dizzy of the night I get carried away and I walk down memory lane And I'm feastin' on the rollercoaster Ride into my past With a cigarette and a fair share of caffeine There's a box full of memories Hidden in my mind That I will hold tight till the day I die But there's no goin' back No there's no goin' back I made my peace with all my yesterdays With the good ones and the bad And I'm holdin' out for what tomorrow brings But sometimes it sneaks right back to me When I'm fallin' out of sleep And I think about the things that could have been There's a box full of memories Hidden in my mind That I will hold tight till the day I die When I open up the box there's a world creepin' out That reminds me of what it was all about When I used to be young When I used to be young And I go back in time and I stumble and fall And I can't help feelin' like I had it all When I used to be young When I used to be young But there's no goin' back No there's no goin' back But there's no goin' back No there's no goin' back
