Lyrics

Otis Redding

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.

Do you remember when we were hungry?

Do you remember when we were cold?

Do you remember when we were happy?

Do you remember? Do you remember?

Do you remember when we were lucky?

We were livin' the life almost every night

I would wrap you in my thin white arms

Sit and watch the stars glide

Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?

Do you remember when we were the lame?

Do you remember when we were the lepers?

Do you remember? Do you remember?

Do you remember when we were strung out?

Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese

We would get so lost in that basement room

Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep

I wish I had one more life

I don't wanna be wasted

I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore

I just wanna be happy again

I don't wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind

I don't wanna be wasted

I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore

I just wanna be happy again

I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)

I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)

I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind

I wish I could be like all my heroes

I wish I could be like all yours too

I wish I could sing like Otis Redding

I wish I could play this guitar in tune

Do you remember when we were hungry?

Do you remember when we were cold?

Do you remember when we were happy in a way

No one outside could ever know?

I wish I had one more life

How I wish I had one more life to live

I don't wanna be wasted

I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore

I just wanna be happy again

I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)

I don't wanna be wasted

No, I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore

I just wanna be happy again

I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be

I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be

I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind

No, I don't want to be blind

No, I don't want to be blind
