Nada Surf - When I Was Young lyrics

rate me

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 normalize and greet all function return

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 in 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?

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?

What was that world I was dreaming of?

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?

What was that world I was dreaming of?

What was that world I was dreaming of?
