when we were young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh!
One, two, three, four!
We're separated by a margin of a greater degree
The same flesh and blood but in a different lane
I read the remedy too but my words, they still sounded the same
When we were young
We thought we had the whole world figured out
Now all we do is speak in tongues
We play a losing game
Only now we hear the shouts fading out
We flew into the Sun
We flеw into the Sun
I'm dedicated to thе shadow that's been following me
It caught me counting the cards
I guess the rules remain
Oh, it was heavenly then
But the devils were calling my name
When we were young
We thought we had the whole world figured out
Now all we do is speak in tongues
We play a losing game
Only now we hear the shouts fading out
We flew into the Sun
Is there something in your eye?
Did you fall or were you just on a high?
Everybody's so afraid they could die
But they never once said
Thank God we're alive
Is there something in your eye?
Did you fall or were you just on a high?
Everybody's so afraid they could die
But they never once said
Thank God we're alive
When we were young
We thought we had the whole world figured out
We flew into the Sun
We thought we had the whole world figured out
Now all we do is speak in tongues
We play a losing game
Only now we hear the shouts fading out
We flew into the Sun
