Missing Beats (of a Generation)
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.
When You were young
You were
The first to crash
and burn
That's an illu
sion for the world to see
Now We don't look
the same
maybe it's D.
N.A.
I can't change You and You You can't change me
Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations
Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations
When You were just
sixteen
You were the one
for me
I can't recall us getting too much sleep
Now We are not
the same
maybe it's D.
N.A.
I can't change You and You You can't change me
Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations
Missing Beats of a generation
the nature of our expectations
When You were young
You were
the first to crash
and burn
That's an illu
sion for the world to see
Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations
Missing Beats of a generation
the nature of our expectations
Missing Beats of a generation
through disappointments and self frustrations
Missing Beats of a generation
the nature of our expectations
On and on, and on, and on,
the more We know the less We glow
I never thought
You would look so old
On and on, and on, and on,
the more We know the less You go
I never thought
You would look so old
