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
When we were young
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 town in the morning
From now on, I will go 'round timeless
I'm pretty sure you
Will come to throw all your pills away
When we were young
When we were young
The whole world hung
Like fruit for the taking
When we were young
When we were young
We'd scream and run
Just 'cause we liked it
Well, it's harder, I guess
Doing your best when you're under duress
You hollow your chest just to try to undress
This waking and night wondering how the hell'd you miss it
What the hell'd you 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
When we were young
The whole world hung
Like fruit for the taking
When we were young
When we were young
We'd scream and run
Just 'cause we liked it
