When I Was Young

I've been looking all around Tryna figure out what the hell really counts When everything feels like it's fillin up with doubt Thoughts heading south And no one can hear me shout And the voices in my head so loud Calm before the storm like a Seattle cloud The sky so gray trna figure it out Why I'm so down in this sunlight drought Yeah memories coming back to me Of a simpler time when I was young and free Playing games with the kids that lived next to me Didn't care about time or anything, yeah But things changed, turned 23 Had to figure out what the hell was next for me Do I do the safe thing something guaranteed? Or do I do what I love till my fingers bleed? It'll all be okay Figure out my own way But for now here I lay And remember a day When I was young When I was young Smoke stacks 'cause it's cold outside Fire burning from the other night I can smell the coals in my soul it Makes me feel something deep inside Memories of a better life Memories where I felt alive In these times you can choose to survive In these times you can choose to thrive And I wanna make somethin', take somethin' Take control of my life and display somethin' Show the world what I love and go play something Show the world what I love on a stage strumming And I wanna make y'all feel the same And I wanna take away all the pain At least for a minute while I play I wanna make you feel okay It'll all be okay Figure out my own way But for now here I lay And remember a day When I was young When I was young, yeah
