I fell asleep at school
And woke up in my parents basement
Next thing you know
I'm lying facedown scraped up on the pavement
I have found a telephone
I called you for some directions home
And I'm stronger
Not wiser
Older
Not getting better
When I was younger I was told
Everything was so beautiful
When I was younger
When I was younger
When I was younger I was bold
There was a fire in my bones
When I was younger
When I was younger
I risked it all to go and follow all my stupid passions
Not really working out
I guess that's why they say shit happens
I bought it long ago
But you've seen this film before
And I'm stronger
Not wiser
Older
Not getting better
When I was younger I was told
Everything was so beautiful
When I was younger
When I was younger
When I was younger I was bold
There was a fire in my bones
When I was younger
When I was younger
When I was younger I was told
Everything was so beautiful
When I was younger
When I was younger
When I was younger I was bold
There was a fire in my bones
When I was younger
When I was younger
When I was younger I was told
Everything was so beautiful
When I was younger
When I was younger
When I was younger I was bold
There was a fire in my bones
When I was younger
When I was younger
