Back in my younger days I used to go all night Now I just stay at home And everything is all right Back when I first met you I used to live in the hays But that was so long ago Back in my younger days I would do anything Just to stumbeling through It's a wonder I'm standing here I've broken so many rules Now I dance with you everynight And still I am so amazed Your love made a man of me Back in my younger days Ooh it doesn't seem that long ago You, you make it feel like the first time when made love And I ain't getting enough Well well well well As I go to the photograph I laugh and turn the page It's the ballad of me and you From such an innocent age Talk about a dream come true We reinvented the frames It's better than it's used to be Back in my younger days Back in my younger days Back in my younger days It's better than it's used to be Back in my younger days

My life's going backwards No plan for disaster Lost looking for the answers I act tough but I got hurt My words turn to daggers Falling back into patterns yeah It doesn't matter now, I'm spinning out, upside down I wanna runaway My minds been sick for months Bottles of chardonnay Poured into sippy cups And I don't know why Something ain't right When the going gets rough It's like we're going back in time And I just don't know who to trust I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold It's all getting tougher I can barely recover I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold I'm goin' under Cuz I'm getting younger As I'm getting old Wrong turn and I got lost Had it all and then it dropped off Thought I could deal with it, thought I could take the hit But now I'm left here in the dust Now I'm tilted Feel so distant Life is shifting and I don't know why I wanna runaway My minds been sick for months Bottles of chardonnay Poured into sippy cups And I don't know why Something ain't right When the going gets rough It's like we're going back in time And I just don't know who to trust I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold It's all getting tougher I can barely recover I'm getting younger Losing all control Screaming like thunder I need a hand to hold I'm goin' under Cuz I'm getting younger As I'm getting old

Time is slipping through our fingers Slowly, we're running out Sun is setting on the horizon Quickly, we're running out Of daylight, I wonder Will we take flight upon the Starry night into the unknown? In the daylight, I wonder Will we take flight upon the Starry night into the unknown? We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger, younger, a-a-a We keep dreaming, city sleeping Slowly, we're running out Clock is ticking and all these years keep passing I don't wanna leave this world with a bitter taste In the daylight, I wonder Will we take flight (take flight) upon the (upon the) Starry night into the unknown? In the daylight (daylight), I wonder (I wonder) Will we take flight upon the Starry night into the unknown? We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger, younger What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? What if one night was all we had? Just one night, that's all I ask One night What if it's all we had? We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger We ain't getting any younger, younger

Wait, feels like I'm walking in my sleep Wandering again It's late, following ghosts on these streets There's something about it Sharing cigarettes, whiskey on your breath Oh, I still remember Do you remember? (Ooh, ooh) I was a loaded gun (Ooh, ooh) You were the reckless one So say it again, the way that you did Back of the car, sending chills down your skin Like when we were younger Hey, I still like the way your name sounds When our friends talk about you I hate the way that it all went down You took it the hardest All those promises, tangled silhouettes Feels like another lifetime (Ooh, ooh) I was a loaded gun (Ooh, ooh) You were the reckless one So say it again, the way that you did Back of the car, sending chills down your skin Make me believe, if only tonight 'Til I can feel all the fire in your eyes Like when we were younger Like when we were younger Mm, mm (ooh, ooh) I was a loaded gun Mm (ooh, ooh) You were the reckless one So say it again, the way that you did Back of the car, sending chills down your skin Like when we were younger

What was your name? I can't place it I'm still wasted away in the taste of your skin As we face the day Your thoughts are racing And I see you hesitating to let me in But you don't have to say you love me, oh, just stay I'm not saying we were heaven made But our liquor gave me the wisdom To know you got what I've been missing We've all got an itch That we need to satisfy And you satisfied mine Like bread and wine We've all gotta live According to our desire And yours goes so well with mine We're classic, like black and white Say we're not to blame Say our parents gave us reason To believe the bars were meant to break Nothing gold can stay And I'll say that pain Is just a mask you wear To distract from the fact That your hands were holding onto this possibility But you don't have to say you love me, oh, just stay I'm not saying we were heaven made But our liquor gave me the wisdom To know you've what I've been missing We've all got an itch That we need to satisfy And you satisfied mine Like bread and wine We've all gotta live According to our desire And yours goes so well with mine We're classic, like black and white Raise a glass to mask the feeling of coming disaster Try to act as if all you've given doesn't matter The past is past, but I have to ask Is it really worth the way you feel Walking home alone the morning after? We've all got an itch That we need to satisfy And you satisfied mine Like bread and wine We've all gotta live According to our desire And yours goes so well with mine We're classic, like black and white

They drowned me in the Jordan Then they tried to wash me clean They got the stains out But now it's too damn hard to breathe They told me he's a good Lord As they tied the shackles to my feet They drowned me in the Jordan And then they walked away from me I washed up on the shores alone In a tattered wedding gown Disillusioned and hardened Everything I'd known had let me down, down, down That is where you found me Grace and whisky on your breath You pulled me back on my feet And taught me how to dance again Now we're building our own promised land On this new ground we stand God bless the work of our hands And make good on our plans 'Cause now I've found love There's no turning back Oh-oh-oh-oh I don't feel so young now Gave the best years of my life away I tried to build an institution Instead of tryna keep the faith If you'd been the one You loved me though I was not lovely or deserving You kissed the curse from my lips And taught them to rejoice again Now we're building our own promised land On this new ground we stand God bless the work of our hands And make good on our plans 'Cause now I've found love There's no turning back Now I've found love There's no turning back

Yesterday I left my join sitting on the counter Forgot to put it out Yeah, forgot these things have power Yeah it burned a hole right through Like all the years you can't undo These days the air in my lungs has gotten thicker But I breathe a little light when I'm with her The battle in my head is overdue She says, "The only way round is through" All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of the embers settling down Making way for fertile ground All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke Sometimes I get jealous of Jesus for falling sleep In the middle of the storm Sometimes you gotta feel like drowning to be reborn Oh, I haven't slept in three days I know I've got to find my way All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of the embers settling down Making way for fertile ground All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke I know I'm gonna see the light The smoke will clear out from my eyes And I know I'm gonna see all of this embers settling down Making way for fertile ground All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke All of this smoke, smoke
